The Senate, Government, et al

My thoughts

They keep us in a zombie state,

worrying about the gas and housing rate,

keep us so busy we don't know,

they're raking in all of our dough!

 

Lead us to believe they're talking it out in committee,

but behind their backs we don't see,

hands filled with bribes,

taking it in from ALL sides!

 

They keep us so confused,

with all the conflicting news,

was there any truth or was it all a lie,

sending our troops to fight and to die?

 

How can we know who or what to believe,

when lies run like water, through a sieve?

Everything great we once stood for,

has been pushed aside and out the door.

 

Foreign countries own our business' and land,

our hourglass is running out of sand.

Will all the men who are in power,

care when America is at its last hour?

Quick, to the point piece. I think the world has watched America become more aware of itself and that's really interesting from an outside view. It's the old Roman Empire thing isn't it? Trying to get everything but trying too hard and therefore at the end, will it just collapse over it's own pursuits? Interesting stuff!

I'm with you on this topic. Last year these men in the House of Representative made 1.2 billion dollars and passed 41 bills. Cut the government jobs and they gave themselves a big pay raise. I pray someone is paying attention. Poor USA is falling down and no-one is noticing. Thank you for the excellent poem.

well said my friend, for it also happens in our country from time to time...I just don't know now for I'm out of the country... In your words speaks so much truth of what's happening behind our back.. its a sea of lies out there...we just have to dig deep for truth is buried deep...
Great expressed emotion.
