Sleaze And Betrayal:

Welcome To Our World

Sleaze.

Corruption

Everywhere.

            Too clever

By far

For your own good

And ours…

       For example:

I won't be voting

             because

               I refuse

    to take part in

A charade.

       You people

Have allowed

           a terrible

Thing to 'grow up'

In this country,

           with voting

           having become

A farce, a fraud, 

                      an

Illusion. 

         I'm disgusted

With it, and

With you; not only 

For allowing it 

To happen,

                      but

For letting it continue.

                  long after

Its use-by date...

                And what

Of other such things?

                  I would

Have thought that

Much of this sort of thing

Would have been discontinued

                            after

The Savings & Loan

                      disaster

Under Reagan, 

                     letting

The children speculate

To their heart's content

                    all because

                the losses

Were being socialized -

           with guarantees

By the taxpayers -

          while the profits

Were always privatized.

                       What

A sweetheart deal…

            Sleaze.

            Betrayal

            of the promise

            of America.

            Which could only

            have ended

Badly.

As it did…

                 And another

Such thing:

Did the allopathic medical

Profession - aka

               industry

          (in cahoots

With the pharmaceutical

          one) -

                    tell

  (or do they not

                     still)

Their patients - aka

           customers - 

       about the role

Of hypoglycemia -

             aka low

          blood sugar -

In such conditions as

Alcoholism?  

        No they did not.

                             Nor

   do they still

              as far

    as I know.

                     Because

                    Why?

                    Because

           it is bad

For business…

I seethe

Inside

           about

All this

Sort of

Nonsense

            want

To round up

All you sons

Of bitches

Involved

And put

You in prison

Where you belong.

      And where

I belong 

Too

Then.

Why?

Because

I

Am You.

As You

Are Me.

And We

Are in this 'thing'

Together.

And I guess

That

Is what

Makes me so mad

That I could spit

           and spew

Me out of My mouth too

            in recognition

Of that ineradicable

And unalienable

Fact:

That we are tied

At the hip.

Brothers

And sisters

               all

Together

            so that

As one fails

So do

We All...

Come on.

Help me out

Here

So that we

Can all rise

Together

As the One

That We All Are

In the real

Reality

                  about

To take us Home

Again

Where some

Are not

More equal

Than others

     as in the realm 

         of

Sleaze

And corruption

And betrayal.

          Which is 

As far

As one - even

          One -

          can get

Here

To all

Appearances.

Come on.

We have work

To be about.

           Shake

A leg

          and be

A good egg.

               Not

A rotten

One.

              That

Would not be

The real You

        just waiting

   for the smaller you

   to claim

Your rightful identity

As We.

              --

Sleaze.

And corruption.

And betrayal.

And…

           redemption???
