the brown bag prophet
was sitting in the public library
trying to beat
the summer heat
he gestured for me
to come over
and said
i get confused
sometimes
especially when
i attempt to think
logically
about the government
and
the law
for example
when snowden
outed
the government
it was called
a crime
but
when the government
outed
an ambassador’s wife
as a cia operative
it was called
political revenge
i personally
would have called
mr rove’s actions
treason
but
political revenge
sounds somehow
like she
deserved it
for serving
her country
can you see
how
i might
be confused
about what’s
fair game

Yes. It is a matter of convenience.
It’s a hard world to make sense of sometimes… keep shining your light in the dark places.
I’m with brown bag prophet!
I couldn’t agree more.
Ain’t nothin’ fair when it comes to politicians and their pay masters – the bankers.
Perception and rhetoric – may we never find a truth
But could a truth exist – we’d find her cold, uncouth
BBP him speakum truth, Kemo Sabe!
I too feel absolutely confused like him!
Well when it’s the game of one standard for “ME” and another standard for “YOU” and the rules keep changing to suit “ME” all the time–of course it’s confusing. It’s part of the BIG LIE.
O my what a cheery morning so far. Need to get more tea.
I think the sandwich in the brown paper bag has more answers than …
… and the brown bag profit is not alone in his confusion.
Well done, Charlie.
Sucks! that would be “prophet” … though an argument could be made that we are profiting from his wisdom. 🙂
amen
