Politicians
the greatest magicians
Grandmasters in linguistics.
Perform tricknowledge techniques
create laws perceived
so many ways.A chess game played with precision.
The goal check mate
corner the king.
divide the family structure
by any means.
Entrap entrepreneurs
eager to eat
trying to reach
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.Throwing stones at the penitentiary.
Filing for evidentiary
hearings.
The only thing suppressed
the ring
of freedom.They claim equality
for all men.
In actuality they meant
just them.
At the time of writing
A country divided
built on the backs of men.
Owned
by the authors
steadily filling their coffers.
Ingraining an industry
thriving for centuries
in the minds of the masses.
Without it our nation crashes.Flashes
of blue and red
shined by the white
placing stars in a box
jammed tight.
Click the lock,
toss the key.Land of the free
enterprise
Right before your eyes,
Freedom’s
reflection
flashes
…just an illusion.©Charles Yonkings, 2016

A Guest Poem
I have found that those who love
A dog, a cat, a bird, and flowers
Are usually thoughtful of
The larger need that may be ours;
Who for God’s creatures small will plan,
Will seldom wrong his fellowman.— Edgar A. Guest
(Edgar Albert Guest was a prolific English-born American poet who was popular in the first half of the 20th century and became known as the People’s Poet. Wikipedia. I find this poem very appropriate for my group of blogger friends.)
