Conscious State

Conscious minds,

consensus,

you won’t find.

If everyone looks out for themselves,

who's gonna look at societal problems and delve?

The “invisible hand”

isn’t an admissible plan

when greed seeps deep, seeks, and steals

to be more grand.

Demos kratos,

the hope’s lost ghosts;

the innocents,

left in a fall,

the victimless, safe in a vault.

Seems to denote,

fiefdom, isn’t over.

Even with the right to vote,

“freedom”, is a misnomer.

We’re presented with representatives unprecedentedly superlative -

Super! Let’s give

them the power

to speak on our

behalf.

We have,

faith.

Let’s elect policies of persons,

as if there aren’t agendas

behind the curtains.

They work for votes in the guise of inclinations,

then win and delegate the task to the next administration.

Resounding un-accounting,

mounting

to debts,

crediting our eventual threats.

As they hold us in liability,

we lie in instability.

Currency’s on the decline,

and our hands are supine,

awaiting the feed of the next line.
