Divide and CONQUER

Watching
out of the corner or my eye
at the forces who
whisper evil on the sly
at the creatures who
sell swords to both sides
at the creatures who swell and
collect the wealth as we all die

Listening
as best as I can with my good ear
to the forces
gorging lke bulimic vampires on fear
to the forces slurping national fortunes
like cheap beer

Knowing
with the heaviness of my heart
that the forces
who pit humans against each other
must set everyone apart
that the humans
who buy into it
won't realize that they've
sold themselves short

As they divide and conquer us just for sport.

Chicky, you hit the bullseye. Thank you for writing this clear, concise slice of reality. We were looted by the very ones entrusted to protect us. It's no longer a national defense, but an everyman for himself international creed of greed. We've been held up for ransom by our own supposed caretakers. U.S. citizens were driven to panic of the dangerous foreigners out to destroy our country and adopted a blind eye to the evil forces lurking within. They were given the key to the candyshop. Big mistake. Their sweet tooth could never be sated. Golly. Some of us were here watching the whole sordid affair ongoing and each time we raised an alarm were only met with derision and labels such as unamerican, traitor, socialist, and terrorrist. Again, thank you. Beautifully written. Wow!
