The Ramblings Of A Changing Man

A Poem by aaronbranch

I sit back in my chair and watch in amazement.

The rage of the people is in constant containment.

Minimum wage symbolizes modern-day enslavement.

Wondering where all of the so-called "good days" went.

Prostitutes and pimps run and dwell in our nation.

Kids having kids, having pro-choice procreation.

We're condemning our people to eternal damnation.

There's blood in the over-priced oil at every gas station.

The black-out of power to the people is increasing.

Reject and unnerve; the police need policing.

Corruption and greed are swelling like bee stings.

We cower in our homes watching politicians feasting.

Promiscuous partners postpone proper protection.

Trading what we believe for a seat in the social section.

A war over resources won't lessen the lesson.

How much did it cost for your puppet to win election?

Analyzing people based on their physical features.

The good people get fed to the snakes and the leechers.

Normal students work hard while athletes fill the bleachers.

It is a wise choice to invest in more qualified teachers.

The poor surcome to our economy's perpetual poverty.

While the rich argue over undeserved personal property.

Don't smell the dying roses, it's time to stop and see.

These matters do matter, so handle them properly.

Wow....I'm speechless!! It was simply amazing.
You expressed so many true things about our nation, and the world. There is so much corruption and poverty out there and it needs be changed.
It's extremely well-written, and it doesn't drag on. You managed to make the poem rhyme and make it flow so nicely.
"Minimum wage symbolizes modern-day enslavement."
