barnum and bailey wars

one day
the people
from the houses
on the hill
gonna
call you
and
ask you
to lay down
your life
for things
you ain’t seen
‘cept on
tv
or
dreams
at midnight
gonna ask
you
to fight
and
maybe die
for
phantom freedom
and
fairytale endings
to
drugs on streets
and
unemployed lines
yes
gonna
ask you
to step right up
and
be a hero
in their carnival
of greed

  1. Dislike many things about this world of ours, some seem to keep getting worse. But then in nature we have the beauty of God’s handiwork, which is uplifting to one’s soul.

  2. Echoes of “Masters of War” from another spearker’s angle.
    Hi.
    I’m getting back into the swing of things–sort of-inspite of pc obstacles. LOL.
    “Step right up! Who wants to be cannon fodder!”
