The Condemnation

[Harklight]

The Condemnation

You’ve legitimised larceny and murder
by re-naming them “peace-keeping”,
prospering from international corruption
while the populace lies sleeping.

Having blackmailed allies to loyalty
in the guise of providing them aid,
you keep resources close to home
for obtuse, redundant power-charade.

Carelessly, you demand assistance
while your masses hold their greed,
failing to help brothers and sisters
when theirs is, by far, the greater need.

Your censorship of worldwide events
keeps your citizens in blithe ignorance,
spuriously endorsing the perpetuation
of racism, supremacy and intolerance.

You’ve high-jacked our free-thinkers
when they offer so much we might gain,
believing in the artifice of your muscle
… instead of wisely utilising your brain.
Unspoken, you’ll recognise your name.
I condemn you, big brother, as insane!

*ROARING APPLAUSE* Preach it, H! Preach the good fight!

Freedom of speech is as sacred as the air we breathe in my opinion, as is personal privacy. You state so many things here that I wholeheartedly agree with. My mom is a politician, and I've seen some of the stuff that she has to deal with. It's just a dirty game in the end, corrupting otherwise good people. This is a fantastic write, I'm exalting you and bookmarking this

Its amazing some peoples views of the 'greater good'! You touch on a very sensitive subject brilliantly. Big brother being the all seeing eyes of goverments and their zips which keep the truth from leaving the mouths of the good or the ones willing to talk and tell the truth. H this was excellent! x

Yes its quite a gray area isn't it? --- the politics of both Domestic and international. Whose the bad guy, whose the good guy, and seemingly destitute victims can become all out tyrants when waiting for the right means to do so.

Governments fixing and/or closing the media because they don't tout the current popular form of thought --- you don't know whats facts so you have to find them your self.


Excellent piece of writing.

A brilliant piece with so many trueisms (is that a word? well it is now) It stikes a chord with so many of my own views. Well done
