demons get their wings every time there’s a murder could be a bomb or just a mass school shooting doesn’t matter as long as they are innocent young souls
poor little homeless waif you were promised so much but in the end all you’ve been given are worthless words words impossible to digest and further give off no warmth when winter comes nor cooling shade from summer’s heat oh but rest assured you were useful in getting them elected but you can’t take that to the bank
buried beneath the rubble of political rhetoric children dying in the cancerous womb of ambition and greed let the record show as the children cried out for help and their bodies were ripped apart by assault weapons only self-serving words were heard from washington’s marble halls let the record show those who have sworn to serve the nation’s people selflessly no longer wear the nation’s flag upon their lapel but weapons used to kill our children proclaiming the nation is second to their quest for power let the record show their desire for power is so strong they are willing to devour the entrails of children born and unborn let the record show
the brown bag prophet
was sheltering
from
a winter storm
in
the main library
roosting
in a mound
of
legal books
when i inquired
about
what he was doing
the prophet
said
i’m trying
to
figure out
the difference
between
involuntary manslaughter
and
first degree murder
when
the weapon used
is
words
and
whether or not
the number
of
deaths caused
is
a variable
in that determination
for example
that girl
whose words
led to a suicide
was
convicted
of
manslaughter
typhoid mary
got a 23 year
quarantine
for her
reckless behavior
a sentence
that
caused her death
by the way
so
what should
happen
to
politicians
whose words
result
in the deaths
of
thousands
and
in some cases
millions
even if unintentional
it
would
still be
considered
manslaughter
under the law
since
it was due to
recklessness
but
given the number
of
deaths
does it transform
into
first degree murder
plus
shouldn’t those
those sworn
to
serve
be held
to
a higher standard
when destitution permeates society people seek out and believe whatever false hope is preached by charlatans who offer up empty dreams designed to make themselves rich
the brown bag prophet said don’t make no difference whether it’s a church board city council or some politico in state or federal government they’re all carp trying to jump over the dragon’s gate chasing the red ball of power seeking to impose their will on others an obvious attempt at self-coronation
now be advised that it takes a lot of time to do nothing well nothing but obstruct others from doing what’s right lord knows being so divisive creating national hostility between lifelong friends and neighbors is going to be quite time consuming that’s why i’ll never have time to do my job oh i know there are a few folks out there hoping that my all-consuming fund raising and hell-raising behaviors should be stopped and i should turn my attention to national and international issues that directly affect the lives of my constituents and i would seriously consider those alternative positive actions but i just won’t have time
tell me no more stories of war i don’t want to hear about acts of valor on the battlefield or families left behind orphaned by political and corporate greed no don’t tell me another story until you can raise the dead
