I obviously liked this poem! by Bill Grimes Jr., who writes about himself: Me..... a child of God, proud single dad, wordsmith, music junkie, loyal friend, cool pop lover, homeless advocate, grateful survivor, promoter of peace, feeder of sheep, romantic soul......... AMERICAN DREAM Dozing watchmen Asleep at the wheel Sweet slumber of indifference Sedated Proletariat multitude Whacked on narcotic apathy Stagnant spirit Insipid eyes Blank stare of nihility Anesthetized sting Haunting sonorous moans Middle Eastern death knell Increments of bipartisan drivel Tortured subsistence Mighty military machine Arrogant vision Complete world dominance Drunk on wine of aggression Rueful repercussions Synthetic American dream Mirage of freedom's spoils Counterfeit success We conquered Babylon For U.N. parking spots Cataclysmic consequences Global strike capability Thermonuclear physics Paper trail bureaucracy Deceiving propaganda On the road to Damascus Oil well fires ablaze Petrochemical blackmail We bet the house on crude We lost our shirt that day Iran The latest "thug" Hawks begin their chant Plastered commonwealth Bereft middle class Controlled Manipulated Common sense Devoured Aristocratic puppets We stalk our prostrate prey Imperialism mosh pit Insatiable greed Power behind the throne Ludicrous Unbridled Beware As Turkey joins the fray Frustrated Complicated Kurdish implosion Volatile house of cards Israel's nemesis As it is written Deceived denizens View the power play We tumble blindly Into the void Dark expectations Forget "global warming" The desert heat ignites
