#11 of My Poems

another one that will get me some signed fur, wrote it on my views on politics.


Why can no one see what i see,

Sitting here and recording everything,

The power hunger, the love of adulation,

When the time comes, If they are unwilling,

To give it all up, will we see our worst fears?

I have seen so many things, a lot of them so bad,

No matter who you choose, either route would have led to disarray.

Will it end in a war between brother and brother, between father and son?

Like the last in our bloody history as a nation,

That when i learned of it,

Tears fell from my eyes to my cheeks?

As i sit in the shadows, i hope and wish for it not to pass,

That from our history,

we will have finally learned from our mistakes.

Take my words, heed them well,

for danger looms ahead, off the bow.

one rogue wind, one slip of the hand,

And we're crashed on the reefs.
