Austerity


 

Dynasties of greed and its economic policies,

political discourse and its perpetual odysseys.

Deficits through poor implementation,

voted promises and false trust revocation.

Borrowed capital and meeting their existing obligation,

taxes, high prices and corrupted penetration.

Violence done to keep the system to maintain,

multiplicity of ignorant ignorance polished vain.

Hidden figures with plausible deniability,

equal copious applied without responsibility.

Tightened belts and overdraft bestowed liberation,

practicing austerities in den prison damnation.

The ark of ignorance and its leaking admiration,

and the patriotic beasts lives by infatuation.

Government jobs that save the heart by devotion,

corrupted honor and its commotion.

The real austerity of integrity,

takes the spirit into liberating eternity.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
