As the first flush of hope just so happens to wane,
Looking physically unable to cope,
Retreat pioneers yet to look for the gain,
And a new generation of hope,
Hold back those retractors, steer clear on the course,
Remember the fallen from history,
Back up the uncertainty with draconian laws,
Renewed, massive mandate, a mystery,
Return all the favours that got you to power,
Suppress belief filters deep inside,
Pander to allies, manufacture strength in dark hours,
Promote past successes with pride,
Sycophants out of the woodwork, who keep a straight face,
Well-hidden are all signs of weakness,
Dissecting achievement all over the place,
Until questions and answers are worthless.
Outstanding post here! You’ve made great points here that gives one food for thought. Great read!
Thank you very much.
We all read and absorb the words of others in different ways. All of my work is designed to make the receiver think and I am glad that it has given you pause for thought.
It is very much appreciated.
I’m immensely impressed and taken aback by your choice of words; each serves a purpose, and builds on its own foundation. I agree with Jarid – certainly food for thought here. Thank you for sharing this great piece!
And thank you.
It is really satisfying to know that my work has resonated…..in any way.
We all express our art in different ways, I know and it is very gratifying to receive positive feedback.
