Echoes Of A Lion's Roar- Revised from 2009

 

 

The Dow Jones keeps dropping and
so do my silent tears, It’s been three
years now since I took my last walk
in the woods, as I walk today for the
second time, I feel like I am in a
fairy tale that ends tragically.

I see people reaching down to pick
Up loose pennies from the streets,
I see the desperation in their eyes,
It is a hunger, a thirst , a cry for help.

Who are the ones devouring our money?
I want them found and tried for murder,
I’m tired of this cat and mouse game!

in June of 2009, I took a stroll
in the woods and was taught a lesson,
I was reminded that the wood of life is a tower
of strength and not easily cut down. The wild
rabbits and gophers were celebrating the recent
trapping of the bear sited in the vicinity,
the local hunter shot down the two annoying foxes.

Again I have been moved to voice as a rebel,
I am not your ordinary activist, call me
anything you want, I prefer to be called a reacher
for the hearers.

My voice echoes with a lions roar, these blue
lines I write on remind me of the state of
depression we face. Germs that have invaded
the brain with viral infection, take away
our freedom of speech. Killing our voices.

"Not me" I have awakened from this coma
anesthetized by the physiological convincing
of the people

"time to wake up"

those that control the mind, hoard the capital,
to make history is to mark its coarse;
our leaders hide behind the curtains to
practice corruption and ride in the
same limo with the immoral preachers

the recession is not fortuitous, it is
still a game plan controlled by the
mind of powers

what is the option when the weak give in
and trade their voice for small change

throw them a bone of pocket change, that
stimulates a change and now their on
the way to believe the gospel according
to politician rules

I have sat down to watch this ball game
in overtime, now I use my politician tongue
to reach you!

You who have taken up harbor on the weak
to your advantage,

or should I say
"you crossed the lines too many times"
I will remain a tower of strength till the end
