Arise

I wrote this off the cuff. I haven’t written any poetry for decades. As a writer I’ve experimented with many styles, genres, and formats in order to get my ideas, opinions, and stories out there. Obviously, or maybe not, it pertains to the current American climate and how our country has changed from a freedom loving place to a place that is economically oppressed and manipulated by global elitists (politicians and corporatism).

Arise

So who is at the helm?
Where have our heroes gone?
What occupies the political skin?
How did they get it so wrong?

They can’t be this dumb?
Unless of intelligent design.
So leadership is under a thumb?
Will they be exposed to show their kind?

The world isn’t random.
Our species isn’t blind.
A plot is in motion.
You bet it means to control your mind.

Don’t believe their hype.
Liberty is fading fast.
Be the pessimistic type.
See how they steal our hard earned cash?

You only get one chance at this.
Life flies by quick.
So fight for the young.
Don’t let them grow up to deal with this sh*t!

I pray that we unite.
A pledge to clean it up.
It is time to make it right.
Time to burn their poison cup.

After all, your eyes aren’t swayed by their deception.
Our core is solid and strong.
We can stop their growing net of conception.
Together as the day is long!

Fight on fellow revolutionaries.
Take it to their front gate.
Send them all back to Hell.
Why make the devil wait?

To not make a stand would be for the weak.
This helps their plan even as I speak.
Turn off TV.
Shut the computer down.
Get your raging fire going.
Make your stand on hallowed ground.

And once the corrupted are long gone,
we’ll take a look around.
The foundations will be renewed.
The pillars of freedom will be solid… they will be sound.

Fists held to the sky.
Americans anchored in the red, white, and blue way.
As one we march forward.
Together we will never break, bend, or sway… this I pray.

There is only one choice.
Be tall.
Never fall down.
Godspeed, American citizens.
Together, yes together, we’ll regain our beloved hometown.
