Cause And Effect

Cause And Effect

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

Incoherent espionage

Circulates through

The impulses of generations,

Increasing in wavelengths

Like the money spent

On borrowed time.

Big game egos

Are appointed by

Technological junkies

In favor of an endless night.

Freedom rings

Like wind chimes

In a hurricane,

Coincidently,

Liberty is the

Candle in the wind;

Cause and effect-

The statue of liberty

Becomes the United State’s

Kryptonite

And the White House

A nail in its coffin.

i think i'm bleeding after this piece. watch how you spin those blades! love the coincidentally, liberty is the candle in the wind. yes we all need to rant and let it out every so often. maybe someone will even hear it one day.

This is pretty straight forward and liberty becoming a candle in the wind is accurate and true. We need to take a look at how the world is changing. How our nation is changing. Insightful write you have captured on paper here my friend.

I was sound asleep and all the sudden got sucker punched in the neck with this big themed b*****d.
First, you rarely put in an Author's note which I adore. Let em swim in it. What do they get from it? where does it take em? Never handholding.
Second, we can go on, BUT I'd like to submit the following as exhibit A as secret, now you see it now you dont brilliance...
"Like the money spent
On borrowed time."

This wraps the thing up, bow style. WIth the budget ceiling hit, I think this extra tack on..the grandiose f**k you, the only thing we don;t have to buy is time, just borrowed, but nowadays its almost mandatory to buy everything.
We take wahtever it is froma poem that makes it dynamic, the green kryptonite of the statue or the great white coffin...you rocked my socks off..and i'm not even wearing them.

Kudos borther

Profound, to say the least. I can agree with every word, here. I love the metaphor you used expressing your views on freedom...

' Freedom rings
Like wind chimes
In a hurricane,
Coincidently,
Liberty is the
Candle in the wind '

Such truthfulness in that...
