By means extreme
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
From the same old story
THUS it tiz
on the news
The consummate professional,
pseudo conservative
Provides another slick variation,
of same sick formula,
Proven throughout history
to make sh8t ...slide...
Launching campaign strategy
to dominate/subdue
By means extreme
by any/every means necessary
To lie/cheat/steal by whatever rules
they might use to give victory
so that evil fruits of their desires
might find the niche,
required/send their master plan
to take power and rule
over the land of the free
home of the brave/no small task,
for a want to be knight,
perpetual knave
force fed from a pallet of stories
of chivalry, bravery, sacrifice and glory
of a mythology ...rewritten history,
largely employed by those who survived
while the prevalent wave of false bravado,
abject stupidity, to spread their rule
of/in an alternate reality
a blocked/cropped vision
of world history, where they alone
choose what truth they allow to be,
heard until the underlying truth...
Exposes the fool
Erases the false tract
reinstates the fact,
Reconstructs the full story
from the bones and ashes
abandons the fallacy
exhumes the ugly truth
Provides real proof
removes the inconvenient
offshoots of the lie
uproots the ruse
negates the hypocrisy
meanwhile, as general society
continues to fall, further still
into the abyss of mediocrity
awaiting the moment of impact,
with what truth we find
upon …reaching terminal velocity
