30 for 30 Day 2 #Pen

 4/2 number 2 #pen

More dominant than 

the thrust of a sword

More demanding than 

the moon at sunset

some write poetry

post Wednesday

with fine tipped #pen

and good intentions

Others stroke egos 

and line filthy bank accounts 

off the backs of the 

hardworking

The preferred tool 

of the power-hungry, the

persuasive prick

who gambles with the 

peoples pension,

with war crimes.

Fools perceive it 

as passionate patriotism

The riot in patriotism

forms lines at 

rallies, readily yielding to be 

imposed 

with the 

illusion of a demigod 

rather than

removing the pen

from grandpa’s 

palpitating hand.

Dissent rides high

in the street

Protestors and 

picket signs–

Frustration 

languished, and 

live streamed 

over border lines and 

border patrols

No caped crusader 

comes to save,

or salvage…

strayed and frayed 

freedom.

The people ponder 

how hard it is 

to pry the pen

from their so-

called 

cold, dead

hand~~
