CHAOS AND TURMOIL©
by rak
 
chaos and turmoil
rule the day
a tank
and steamroller
headed your way
creating havoc
with disregard
there is
no safety net
no wild card
 
chaos and turmoil
rocking the boat
it’s sink or swim
or simply float
would you
trade freedom
just to survive
they take
no prisoners
it’s dead
or alive
 
chaos and turmoil
disguised as friends
they’ll give you rainbows
then cut the ends
they want your body
they’ll take your mind
they’ll take it places
you’ll never find
 
chaos and turmoil
have come to stay
they’ll take
the blue sky
and leave it gray
there’s no escaping
nowhere to run
chaos and turmoil
have all the fun
 
chaos and turmoil
with afterglow
they’ll tell you
nothing
that you
don’t know
make no excuses
come when they call
chaos and turmoil
will take it all

Just a few thoughts,
on my mind, this morning...

HOPE MUST NEVER END©
by rak

world has grown too serious
everyone delirious
and, drunk with power
shouting from their tower

seems they wanna take control
of your mind, your heart, your soul
and tax the air you breath
and tell how and who to grieve
tell you what, you should believe

liars saying , “trust in me”
“I’ll tell you, who you should be”
“just give me a minute,
the truth is how I spin it”

world has gotten crazier
the outlook ever hazier
big money leads the way
big money has the say

they wanna take away your rights
all you have, and all you might
take your right to speak
the freedom that you seek
as the people gather round
afraid to make a sound

some may say, “all hope is lost”
others say. “we’ll pay the cost”
“to find it once again
hope must never end”

just cause i havnt posted anything lately
dont mean i havnt been busy wrting
this one to share today

SENATE SHEEP©
by rak
 
the senate full of sheep
puppets in the house
can’t even hear a peep
as quiet as a mouse
 
they bow down to their king,
dictator wanna be
and kiss his ring, and other things
and pay, dearly, the fee
 
indeed they pay the price
for endorsements, re-election
and they don’t think twice
claim, natural selection
 
the woolly mammoth went extinct
as did dinosaurs before
something in DC stinks
will there be another civil war
 
yet dinosaurs still on the loose
in the halls of the Capitol
the tyrant screaming for a noose
nothing seems too stable
 
they’re out of date,
their strings are pulled
no free will, no debate
just more lies and lots of bull
 
the dictator wannabe
is taking full control
and it’s so plain to see
as the sheep sell their heart and soul

so there is some kind of petition or something,. for people to send a postcard to the WhiteHouse. and mail it on March 15th(ides of march)..to let the president know what they think...
meanwhile, i mailed this letter today...some suggestions for cutting money from the govt, without closing agencies and laying off hard working Americans...

ATTN: OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT A BUSINESS,
THAT’S SUPPOSED TO MAKE A PROFIT!
IT’S SUPPOSED TO OPERATE,
FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE,
THAT SUPPORT IT THRU TAXES.

TRIM THE SALARIES OF ELECTED POLITICIANS,
AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS.
CUT THEIR STAFF AND EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.

PUT A CAP ON ELECTION CONTRIBUTIONS,
AND ANY EXCESS GOES TOWARDS PAYING DOWN
THE NATIONAL DEBT.

THIS WOULD MAKE FOR A FAIR AND EQUAL
PLAYING FIELD, FOR THE ONES RUNNING FOR OFFICE
TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.

MAYBE THEN, WE WILL GET PEOPLE WHO REALLY
WANT TO SERVE, AND NOT GET RICH ON THE BACKS OF THE PUBLIC!

GIVE A DAMN©
by rak

as the sun
sets on
the land
of the brave
and free
do I see
a tear
fall from
the statue
of liberty

does anybody
give a damn
does anybody care
how come
when I turn around
there’s nobody there

as lies multiply
truth not to be
spoken
promises made
promises broken
don’t be afraid
have you awoken
dreaming a dream
keeping fires stoking

does anybody
give a damn
does anybody care
how come
when I turn around
there’s nobody there

eyes all around
watching all you do
better don’t make a sound
they’re gonna find you
change coming faster
gotta keep pace
days of disaster
no breathing space

does anybody
give a damn
does anybody care
how come
when I turn around
there’s nobody there

the voice of doom echoes
shadows all tremble
what’s going on
what does this resemble
read the constitution
freedom to assemble
the voice of doom booming
as people tremble

does anybody
give a damn
does anybody care
how come
when I turn around
there’s nobody there

 WORLD AS WE KNEW IT ©
by rak
 
the world as we knew it
is no more
seems like all
good sense
walked out the door
not all change
is better
can’t even say
what for
in the air,
on the land
going shore to shore
 
is it all about the money
is humanity
deceased
is greed
all the hunger
as kindness
has decreased
nobody growing younger
old age has increased
wars galore
world over
as people pray for peace
 
there’s a man
sits in the oval
with his list of enemies
bent on retribution
for his own crimes
and flagrant pleas
won’t accept accountability
won’t confess any misdeeds
as he posts his lies and insults
on social media feeds
 
the world as we knew it
disappeared
it’s unrecognizable
amidst the growing fears
not all change is better
as rivers
flow with tears
tyranny,
dictatorships
do you see
what I hear

And when asked why did trumptard say Zelenski was a dictator in a press conference trumptard said "Did I say that ? I don't remember " ,,,well that proves he is NOT fit to hold office as well as his other offenses like encouraging January 6th ect ect ect.

wonder if this will land me on "the list"

CAN'T HAPPEN HERE ©
by rak
 
an awful lot
of awful things
can happen
in four years
worst nightmares
are coming true
fueling all the fears
optimism trampled
sensibilities
are scrambled
human rights
in shambles
sky is full of tears
 
with no plan
or recourse
and yet
we carry on
wondering
what’s coming next
and is all hope gone
 
can we survive
a government
rewriting
all the rules
are we
hapless puppets
are we drowning,
hopeless fools
 
a man that has no morals
has taken center stage
demanding that the spotlight
shines on his wrath and rage
 
can we sit back
and watch proceedings
are we tethered to a stake
can’t we cry, “do-over”,
“this is a huge mistake”
 
now we are the minority
the right wing guides the plane
this is the reality
we’re up against the strain
 
now here in the aftermath
bathed in a blithering bath
they won a scorching victory
we can’t argue the math
 
the lies they told
both brash and bold
and never ceased to stop
even when the facts are known
the numbers never stop
 
an awful lot of awful things
can happen in four years
I hear the echoing so clear
it can’t happen here
