Memo To Mr Politician (class War) by afroxyz: 10:26am On Jan 10, 2013 |
You have built walls Round your fortress Maginot lines of defense To shield your opulence. You laugh at them. The poor and down-stricken. Nothing but tools to be used Then dumped like tissues. They chant free songs, Through bars and wires Their cries and pain, Tear no holes in your skin You soothe their wounds, With religion and faith. Trapping their thoughts In hopeful hopelessness. Severing their chains, With ethnic jingos. Mis-educating with education Choreographed reality tv They bow their heads, But their anger stands. Waiting for the tunes From the flutes of anomie The laws you built Are sand castles at shore The ocean of revolution Laughs at you Dark shadows lurk By your bedside Bastards orphaned by The light you killed Dance steps of rage Held bound in broken cages Reflections of their true self Come alive in broken mirrors Your power is an umbrella To dark hurricanes fermenting afar. Like the ants that gather grain. In anticipation of the rain. For pay day shall come When the people's anger Shall be cashed and withdrawn To buy your lives. Soldiers would go on strike, The police would take to flight Even justice would be blind When sorrow imprisons your smile -It is just a matter of time. |

@Afroxyz.... As to my comment on your 'Black Jesus' poem, how many comments have you seen on this (Memo To Mr Politician) since you posted it on Jan 10. This is the first, as you can see. Religion makes heads turn as if a troubler is around when one promotes or speaks against one of it tenets....Continue writing sir! |
