Soon! And, Very Soon



Eyes as wide to open,
As the dawning...
Of the brightest awakening,
To successfully reveal...
The arrival of enlightenment.
Surviving through the ignorance,
Intentionally kept and endorsed.
The minds of those,
Locked tight into self importance.
And a need to feed themselves,
On pretensions and impressions to make.
Will soon, and very soon realize...
Their discriminating, racist bigoted ways,
Has not lowered anyone's taxes.
Performed for them a better quality of life.
Nor has their dislike,
For others with appearances different...
Stopped,
Their ongoing accusations placed.
And excuses to make,
Blaming the ones of ethnic 'diversities'...
As the reason why,
The choices they have made to discriminate.
Be bigots and racists.
With these teachings taught to their children.
For more than a few decades.
Has caused the havoc of drug addiction.
Corruption and rising of juvenile crime.
Deception, fraud and disrespect for humanity.
Done purposely by those,
Watched to profile as if under microscope.
While elitists,
Continue to accept and believe...
This fun they have begun,
Will become no laughing matter.
When it occurs to them,
Greed to feed exclusively...
Has a way of sickening further,
A mind too crazed...
To save from self destruction.
No matter how luxurious,
A locked cemented and padded cell may be!

'Wait a minute. Hold up.
Weren't they the ones,
Who had wealth, control...
And power over everyone?'

Yeah. But...
The keeping up with pretentious appearances,
And...
Imitating God and ignoring Mother Nature.
Plus wining and dining,
To not notice your own trained Vultures...
Circling high in the sky.
Preparing to interupt the festivities.
With a doing to please themselves too?!
Is not a suggested recommendation,
To propose or share with anyone...
That addicted to a self serving ego.
It pays to look up, down and all around.
Yet...
People like this,
Assume the feeding upon an image to live it...
Immunes them from suffering,
The affects of their own stupidity!
Time.
And time.
Until for them that time ends!
