Taps and Wires

Wiretaps

Shooting in the pool

Trying to catch the cool water

Catching what is not really there

It was once but is now everywhere

Once a river

Now only a stream

We had better push harder

Than it might not be a false starter

Covered Bases and Baseless

Baseless claims

Covered in the bases

Inside the bases are threads

Tying together interwoven very strange

How can lies and truth now be called the same

Differentiation

Miley if not wholly

Insane

Playing a new game

New rules

New attempts at truth and lies

From the cold winter ground

To the opaque spring sky

I can not try to understand all the commotion

Just new words in rotation

Under God’s Great Nation

 

Religious Contradictions

Right and wrong

Worshipped and rejected

Hallowed and undetected

Pretending to play along

Contradictions in action

In practice

Malpractice

What is religion

What has it become

Just a paperweight on a stone counter

A wishful hope of love

Amongst a silent chatter of hate

How can hate be the dominant theme

It’s desgusting

This whole religious identity thing

Recuse

Recuse is in the news

Withdraw all efforts

Corruption is now the norm

Normal abnormal

Still disturbing

Russian hackers

Making names for old politicians

No clarity from the top

No direct vision

All the while corners are being

“Turned”

New tones are being drawn

All the while I lay back and yawn

Is this over yet

Are we back in campaign season

Or are we waiting to go back in session

How Long Can it Go Wrong

Is there a limit to wrong

At some point is it all gone

The ability to screw things up

Over and over again and again

Writer repeat send

How many letters do we need to not have

To read anymore

How long can it all go wrong

A day

A year

Eternity

Affirm me

Please that is not a possibility

Impossible

But possibly

I guess it could go on eternally

I will wait

And see

 

Taken Away

What is taken away

Raked away with hope

Diamond true

My eyes lay on you

Hope in your wind blown heart

Each and every part of us

Has been taken away with little seeds

Of anxiety

Highly anticipated

The news will arise from the dark

Our live will rise

From the bellows

From the bellows
