DEMOCRACY: a debacle

Democracy was born out of
Our inability
To understand the common life
Of all humanity.

Democracy does not allow
A space for empathy.
It’s dominated by the meme
What is in it for me?

Democracy gives us ‘rights’ to
Unfettered liberty.
When ‘rights’ divide they're wrongs beyond
All rationality.

Democracy maintains divides
In human unity.
They are divisions that preclude
Sustainability.

Democracy is costing us
Our livability.
We cast a vote then pay for life.
Division isn't free.

Democracy supports all faiths
And secularity.
The conflict everyone has caused
Helps write our history.

Democracy distracts us from
A sad reality,
The harsh, corrupt dictatorship
By our Economy.

Democracy results in fights
Because we can't agree.
The politicking demonstrates
Our asininity.

Democracy gives us the right
To our stupidity
Despite the fact its consequence
Will harm humanity.

Democracy depends upon
Made up philosophy
With which we try to fill the void,
The hole in life we see.

Democracy will be our death
Unless we can agree
To end our tries to fill the void,
Which feed democracy.

Democracy we should change to
A life of unity.
Together is the only way
We’ll save humanity.

Democracy can be replaced
With ideal anarchy,
Self-governance by parallel,
Innate activity.

DICTATORSHIPS: processes of unity

Deposing our dictators from 

Positions they have held for life
Apparently gives hope to some

Their leaving will diminish strife.

More likely though hope will be dashed,

For even though they are corrupt,

Without the pressure they exert

So much more conflict will erupt.

Still fear of strife can't justify 

Accepting dictates from "the man";

But lopping off a country's head

Should be preceded by a plan.

There needs to be analyses

Of all the reasons that we fight.
These 'wrongs' we then take from our lives

Until we're left with just one "right".

With it, one-man dictatorships

Will lose their rationality.

There'll be no need for man made laws,

Not even for democracy.

The 'law' that's written in our genes

Will dictate what we can become;
And parallel dictatorships

Will make Humanity the sum.

BARACK OBAMA: winning the future

I listened to the president
Deliver his inspiring speech.
Although he had the best intent
The goals he set we may not reach.

To "work together" is too hard
When we are kept apart in life
By our "beliefs" which we regard
As rights, despite that they cause strife.

For it the president has praise;
But "common hope" there cannot be
Until we all together raze
The vertical economy.

With one belief and equal pay
Our life "horizon" would be changed,
And we would see beyond the way
"Titanic 'chairs" are rearranged.

The "future" can be only won
Without the tragic human race.
Unless it's shared by everyone
This life can't be the "better place".

Barack Obama: attack on greed
Barack Obama: fighting for change
Barack Obama: my hope
Barack Obama: victory speech
Barack Obama: inauguration day
Barack Obama: professing change
Barack Obama: sacrificing lives
Barack Obama: healthcare
Barack Obama: his Gulf oil war
Barack Obama: a cautionary view

GOD'S MESSAGE: re guns

"Another damn memorial
For victims that were shot.
You may believe that I was there
But sorry, I was not.

I didn't come because I am tired
Of this stupidity;
You make the guns, kill ones I love,
And then you pray to me.

You choose to wrap around yourselves
The right to carry arms
Ignoring as the dead pile up
That me the killing harms.

I'm so pissed off I have a mind
To right now end it all;
But I don't kill, besides you have
Already made that call.

Since on life views you won't agree
The killing will increase.
Because you seem too dumb to change
I know I'll soon have peace.

I'm finished, now I'll wait alone
Until your will is done.
So at the next memorial
Pray to your holy gun."

God; God's voice; God's will

ARIZONA SHOOTING SPREE

Now when Obama spoke about
The Arizona shooting spree
He said, "We'll come together" as
In all our human tragedy.

If that is true why is it that
Humanity is torn apart?
If tragedies united us
The shooting sprees would never start.

Our tragedies divide us all.
The conflict over what we earn,
Beliefs for which we fight and kill,
Are two of many that we learn.

To come together we can't wait
For tragedies to lead the way.
If we don't start to banish them
Then with our lives we'll surely pay.

Together
