~"The" tilt of the scale~
There's one thing that brings
Wee
The people to there.
Opinionate thought
Of the critic
In you?
A bill that's been passed
Was it during your watch?
Rights that were bound
Constitutionally?
Thugs in the life
That we want to call ours?
~
I shut off my world for a moment of time
To the one I'd imagined all of my life.
~
The one thing that brought
Wee the people
.....
To our now.
How fitting's that finger
While flagged, is in point
Societies tattoo
Uncle Sam "He" want's you!
Where ever your parallel
An longitude's at!
Channels pre-selected, securely for you
Smudge from the papers
Arbitrational script......
House of congress
A stacking of cards!
Debits and credits
Measured to check!
~
I shut off my world for that moment of time
..........
~
It's a crying shame
We allowed
Limited choice
There's no one to blame but today and it's roots!
Giving you a choice
To make you believe
You've a say in the way
Of the plans you don't make!
That consist of the one's
Written On the card's, by the listings above!
We never have pushed
For that elusive new box
Marked, none of the ones
Penciled!!!!!above.
Check mark or x
Putting eyes on the land
Tilting the scale
Unfavorably!

'I shut off my world for a moment of time
To the one I'd imagined all of my life.'
the reason i say that is because in truth, we're
not 'in control' of what others do or don't do...
only what we individually do (or don't do)...
only to whatever decision we individually make
to open to another
