Vote for me I’ll set you free!
“I welcome this kind of examination, Because people have got to know Whether or not their president’s a crook. Well I’m not a crook.” ~ Richard Nixon
“God Bless America.” ~ George W. Bush
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and Countrymen.
I’m proud to be here today, Representing you in a truly Humanistic way, Representing only the very best in humanity, In the attempt to move past the insanity To which we have become accustomed.
The trust of the American people has been trodden upon for the last time!
Our rights and responsibilities have been Subjected to depravity of the worst kind!
The salient issues of our times, reduced to Sound bites that dull our minds, Culled from the bottomless pit of Inhuman degradation, wherein lies the Utmost sin of spiritual relations; Whereby they - in their hubris and Egocentrically-centered behavior - Hold these truths to be self-evident, Equality being evidently irrelevant, Upholding morality something less than An ambivalent pursuit of the Enlightened Elite, Intent upon deepening the Unholy slumber of the masses While they engage in world-wide plunder Tearing our Earth asunder.
Vote for me I’ll set you free!
Now is the time for all secrets to come To Light, for those who hide in the shadow Of privileged anonymity to experience The enmity of the public spotlight.
A sight not seen for generations, Since the French sent the Knights Templar Cross’t oceans, following stars to The New World, an unholy Cabal of ancient lineage That draws upon powers best left to those Dedicated to Higher and Truer Goals Than the Rulership of the Mundane
Vote for me I’ll set you free!
The pain of the world is evident for all to see, The seas themselves rebel against our hegemony.
The krill scream shrill spiraling screams that Stop the salmon from swimming upstream!
The polar bears short hairs raise in sympathetic Harmony, while serpents in the Midwest meet And greet each other in preparation for early hibernation.
The hurricane season’s come too soon, The light of the moon shines too brightly, The monsoon rains increase nightly, While daily indexes of heat increase, searing souls Like jellyfish stranded upon the shoals of life, Exposed to the spiking flames of solar radiation And nations rise against nations, oblivious to the Deprivation of Mother Earth.
Vote for me I’ll set you free!
And so I leave you with this message: Without a world to live upon we are lost. Without an ocean to bolster life, life will end. Without biogenetic diversity, comes nothing but adversity. Without a neighbor, we are alone. Without love, there is no God. Without God, there is nothing.
Our choice is clear. Vote your conscience, vote your heart, Vote your soul. Vote for me, I’ll set you free!
Vote for me I’ll set you free!
“I welcome this kind of examination Because people have got to know Whether or not their president’s a crook Well I’m not a crook.” ~ Richard Nixon

Brava, Mark. Oh, brava. I'd fly my flag for this one, cry for ever growing masses... or, at least, one can hope.

"Ambivalent Pursuits" stimulates one to read the
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...
(I wish the Chief LEGAL Adviser of The White House could READ...)
It ignites the dynamo of Patriotism and strikes thoughts on Justice.
This composition. "Ambivalent Pursuits" is a poetic compliance
with Poetry's tasks. It makes me think that it is about time for
Americans to decide to have a legal country and stop serving the Greek-Roman Empire as slaves members of its Province.
JUSTICE SHOWERS IN AMERICA... WE DON'T SALUTE ZEUS!

Very well written, Mark, you pen a powerful message. Carefully chosen words, Nixon was not a crook, though he was a lot of other things, some good and many very bad. It doesn't matter who is in the political seats of government, there is a chain of corruption that gets them there. Some get caught, most do not, and when they are caught, it really doesn't matter anyway. Chappaquiddick is a good example of that. Nixon didn't murder, but he did cheat. Lies abound when people are given too much power and when the laws of the land are distorted for their own purposes.
Take care,
Sherry |
