Red Lunar Skywalker/ Spectral Serpent Moon of Liberation, Day 5

2 Ben

Red Lunar Skywalker

Citizens…

Battered and beaten
By Bullet and Bomb
Tattered and treated
Like Garbage and Scum
Ripped up, taken down
To the Ground deaf and dumb
Rushing and running to
Beat the War-Drum

Everywhere is
Ground Zero for the (S)hero
Of our Age –

Chaos now takes center Stage
Fretting and strutting
His Stuff and his Rage –

Dumbed down by the Screens
The Screams and the Beams –

Sound-- Bytes for all
Superficial and trite--
Bully Amerika started
This fight!

Numbed out are we
Sickened...addicted
To Micky D - Meth
All Drugs prescripted
To TV, DVD, MP 3
LCD, HD, LOL, POTUS
AIPAC , NSA, FISA and NASA

Hell yeah!  Language shrinks
Shirking its Duty
Critical Thought now
Drowns in Acronym

Icon  - Emoticon
Replace Language sublime
Fear sells Liberty
Dressed in Camouflage

A Calculus arises
To measure
Mortality rates
Of Infants in War Zones
Like Hatchets used
To explore a human Heart

As eastern Lights rise
The West comes apart--
The Galaxy its
Balance must define
Our Future lay
In dusty Hieroglyph carved
On the barely visible
Tomb of Time.
