When I hear those who say they fight,
that they struggle,
that they want things right,
and they glue their hands upon the walls
of museums and paintings of old,
and smile while ‘comrades’
with smart phones
take videos,
I just want to drag them through thorns…
When I hear those in power say
they understand the little guy,
the poor unfortunates who cry,
they know the struggles of their days,
And that they feel the blood and sacrifice
of those they send to kill and die,
and then if some should return home,
they leave them homeless and alone,
I want to throw them in a hole
and fill it up with honey
and let the critters of the night
feast upon their flesh, oh such delight…
When I hear preachers scream and shout
of virtuous anger, sins, no doubt,
and tell me that I need redemption,
and only they have the salvation
for my immortal soul,
while they deny the living God
with lustful eyes upon the innocent,
I want to stick their heads in water,
no, not the Holy one they blessed
but in the toilet, such distress,
of the filthy bathroom there behind
the corner gas station…
Oh yes, it is beautiful to dream and quite impressive too…

I loved the perspective of this piece. The flow is rhythmic and anticipatory. The rhyme scheme subtle but recognized. You touch upon feelings I think we all share at some point and that makes this very relatable for any reader. Well written, my friend!

Wonderful poem, Francisco and I’d like to be there helping. The hypocrisy of some people–I’ll pray for or help you, once your check/honor/possessions are mine.
