There's a fly in your dirty ice

sorenbarrett

With weatherman promises the president speaks, fair weather he proclaims
Under dark clouds a congress of cowards meets, a horse lost its reigns
An invisible mask hides his face, no reflection in a public mirror
He wears a weatherman's disgrace when no cloud will shed a tear
Disbelief in a public with blinders on their eyes, rain falls on the weak while the rich stay dry
Dams are built to hold the rain that they claim never came, instead only a fly
A shout of doubt, they will through you out, no water ration will come from your spout
So in a flood you'll be the first, covered in media mud, to die of thirst, drown in a drought
Water diverted for the perverted and the vice of making dry ICE

    Oh, staggers back in amazement. Another recipe idea for KP. All that protein for her in those flies in the ice. heehee.

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks Orchi for the read. I just knew that this one would catch your attention. There is something rather upper class about having a fly floating in an ice cube in your drink. Suhhhhh don't talk too loud everybody will want one

      A great write with a clear message, enjoyed

      Glad that Denmark gave him a big chunk of Greenland, now Trumpland, and who knows, Ice in the ice might keep the ice men away from shooting poor women in their cars. Mind you, the people in Iceland must be shitting themselves, he did sort of get them mixed up.

        Thanks so much Paul for the read and support it is appreciated. I'm sure he has his eye on Canada and Panama, probably wants Mexico as well then he can send all the Mexicans to Iran.

          It's a mixed up world.

          A compelling poem. Your poem revolves around themes of disillusionment, social injustice, and environmental neglect. The imagery of water, or lack thereof, serves as a metaphor for broader societal issues, highlighting how the powerful and wealthy often remain unaffected by crises that severely impact the marginalized and vulnerable. The poem critiques political leaders and institutions that promise change but fail to deliver, ultimately leaving the public in despair.

            Thank you Friendship for the review and interpretation that is dead on with the intent of the poem. It is most appreciated

            • Friendship

              You're most welcome, my friend.

              Brilliant allegorical poem, brimming with dark humour, about a certain Western despot, I guess...highly original and definitely another fave from me!

              • sorenbarrett

                Thank you Dominic for your read and supportive words. I guess now Americans feel like Germans who voted in a man that promised to take them out of a depression and oppressed and exterminated unwanted groups of people then grabbed large chunks of land as part of the fatherland. Sending brown shirts to silence any dissent.

                Wow! Soren, this carries real bite, my friend. The weatherman mask, the dams, the drought and flood existing at once…it all speaks to a system built on denial and diversion. Uncomfortable, necessary, and fiercely honest. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                • sorenbarrett

                  Thank you Tristan I appreciate your understanding of this piece and its intent. I have lived under military dictatorships and would much prefer them and their greater kindness that the one in the US at present

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    You are welcome, my friend. I have not, but will take your word on their \"greater kindness\" 🤣; however, that really is telling about the current one (he who shall not be named 🤣) in the White House, no?

                  • Lorenz

                    Is Trumpy going to claim Monaco under the pretext that an american actress was once its princess ?

                    • sorenbarrett

                      I thought that he already did. Must be an oversight on his part with all else that is going on. I think that he said that George is an American name and so since we left England when there was a king George it must belong to us. That's the type of logic that is going on. Thanks so much for the read

                    • Teddy.15

                      Fabulous message 👏 I'm really fed up with scumbags in uniform and wearing titles that should never have been given
                      🌹

                        I think we are thinking alike Soren! If only people could be peaceful but alas there’s too much hate and greed in the world. You conveyed your point perfectly. Wonderful write Soren.
