Vocal Whetstone

Vocal Whetstone

A Poem by Chilson, Joshua
"

Words are a powerful tool, they have been used to create and destroy countless dreams born in hearts around the world.

"
With all of my might
I swing
with words razor sharp
now less medicated
becoming a vocal whetstone
I take aim
at the impregnable
political fortress.

A White house of hollow words
rings empty
on cold streets
and cardboard boxes
soup kitchens overflow
with the desperate and educated
our schools defunded
close doors on dreams.

You have priorities
and take care of your own
while drowning the American Dream
thinking we beneath you
deserve this struggle
fighting your taxation
taking away hope
with Washington's Benjamin's and Grants.

Author's Note

Chilson, Joshua
A little more free verse, am liking the ability to not be confined so that I may paint an ever flowing picture of feelings.
