Disgrace of Knowledge


by Michaelw1two Inspired by Aadhar Mittal and dedicated to Senator Orin Hatch; Long-lived life, once truly dedicated to living thoughts; of service freely given, the sage elder once was sought; minds focused, on the aged, silver haired sons of freemen; on whose shoulders, future's generations once did stand. This day shamed, though men do stand and speak together; against all people, they, in one cities regions nether; speaking, of favorable dispensation to corporate wethers; they all do stand, as one agonist our nation's druthers. They live in shadows, striking fears within men's minds; positions won by lies, deceit, and dishonor of humanity; swapping votes, to plot futures based on fascism refined; what these beasts see as beauty, all spirit beings defy. Distain grows, along with an increasing public knowledge; of words, actions, and crime committed, all do recognize; age being life, for most men, just floundering pledgings; the beasts bend brow, sworn of pact, all life to sledge. Our nation's spirit, takes this intrusion oh so quietly; as fearful in mind, her populations pondering spitefully; the ugly natures, this wicked group embraces exclusively; new change, must end their fascist mindset conclusively.
