illusion of choice

later than normal
thoughts once pouring
from the mind
reduced to a trickle
distracted by the politics
of the day and the coming
illusion of choice
can’t say either side
ever convinced me of anything
this year is not much
different except for the mouth
that will not be silenced
a constant middle finger
to the establishment
power structure
so in twenty days we shall see
if the established power
can be beat and if not
back to the deterioration
of what America once was
agendas that oppose each other
and will continue to shape
society into an apathetic
egalitarian nightmare
media screams
offended by words
ignoring actions
no matter how illegal
or lethal as they have been
later than usual
just trying to let
some of the air out
voice some reason
why is the pen all tongue tied
seeing all my mistakes
laid out before me to walk over
and leave behind…
