State Ward of Mental Dissonance

Fabled puppet masters
residing in the shadows of the rafters
pull miss piggy's short curly strings
profiting capital amusement
capitol cameras roll as she strikes a war time payload pose
Audience caught in a pants down trance
by the mindfuck marionette vaudeville show

protestors boarding the edge of sanity and passion
firing off dull rounds of awful aimed textbook hate rhetoric
Library bondage liberals
swat yesterday's invisible fly
with rolled up issues of rolling stone.
Kamikaze conservatives
march the mall
burning mosques in drunk fear rage
armed with molotov cocktails
of holly roller rhetoric
fueled by tomorrow's oil
and old burning remains
of tattered commie rags
sparked by a retro wave of
reactionary Reagan recidivism

The waning current of the
TrappedWorkadayClass
left to rot by the stagnant banks of the mainstream
– concealed identities
clandestine black budget activities
and the usurping of placebo thrones –

Rabble infected with a wild virus
showing the lollygagging
flag waving
hate spraying symptoms
of herd poisoning
trigger fingers itching
waiting for the new world order
to come knocking
a military round up
the final culmination of ancient lore

Propaganda rising
rheum clogging the airwaves
choking the life from the
gray decay industrial
wasteland
paranoiac slime and sludge
leaking up through cracked mouths
in the underground
fear mongering
false prophecy profiteering
trying to convince the world
to spend as if the end was nearing
the once mildly sane
being led on by the full on
mentally deranged
creating signs
connecting dots
spectral screen dream police
monitoring your every thought...

cognitive lock down
ordered by the state
emergency mental malaise pandemic
jumping from body to body
mind to mind
gnawing nervous receptors
masticating day old brain tissue
Oh, thou wretched, cursed, insidious plague!

Napoleonic Messiahs
offer no cure
only perpetuate fear
in the name of spilling
more red blooded black ink
ego stroking
cognition sedation contagion
ignorant pork belly indigestion
partisan backroom constipation
law makers, lobbyists and
complacent constituents
all engaged in incessant
mindless maya masturbation

Protect yourself
take cover
seek refuge behind
scattered, hollowed out
conspiracy theories -
after all no one knows what's really going on
and besides, they're only a-QuickClickaway

Gallop poles, standardized tests
and sorted anonymous questionnaires
all forging the results
of a nation's cardiogram...

sucked dried teats
tapped out streets
depleted hope
mounting fear
seeing quite clear
no profit in peace
no chance for the future to compete
with the rising sun of the east...

Imperial scarlet steed
Washington's dynastic seed
Ishtar mecca military defense sanctuary...

But enough negativity, already!

Keep me informed, yes! - but -
keep it balanced,
balance has nothing to do with politics-
-It has EVERYTHING to with HUMANITY

Oh America we are a nation so young...
in need of so much guidance
– surely now the world has been
around long enough to police itself.

Let us exercise the fabled American bravery...and admit...

...we need help
