An entire race depicted
as hunters of a
peaceable nation,
subjected to the
madness of a cold, cold soul,
judged and found
guilty by temperate minds,
raised on the
lies of their keepers,
where truth and
debt
has been slanted
and staged,
fiction turning
fact, to a generation
programmed to
believe what they’re told,
without question and
without qualm.
Honest deeds lost
to time.
Complicit in
silence, you condemn!
You pledge deference
to a lie!
Stand up and
speak!
Say what you think,
say what really
was,
speak up against
injustice,
speak out against
bias,
say everything
you’ve been conditioned to suppress,
and pivot the
power from the governing few
back into your
hands, and yours, and yours,
where it’s meant
to lie,
with the people deserving
their place in the sun.
It’s time for a
revolution!
The people of North Korea could use that.
ReplyDeleteSeems to be quite a bit of revolution happening right now, although not all of it is coming from a good place
ReplyDeleteBaby, it's cold outside ... Let's hunt a deer and huddle by the fire, hmmm? Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteAh yes indeed. What you speak of, I have successfully been: with the SF public schools.
ReplyDeleteooo yes this is so great - I find it hard to be overtly political in poems sometimes and I think you do it well! 'Complicit in silence, you condemn!' Is super powerful and super accurate xxx
ReplyDeleteWoe, that is hitting far too close to home.

After spending decades speaking out to every person I could--I found I could not foment the revolution of mind. Violence and taking away are easy if one is willing to pay the cost--few are leaders though. I am retired to simply smithing words when they arrive.
