Distraction and Other Games Politicians Play
The name Epstein, sounds German, or Jewish to me
what do you guys all think ..
Well, to be honest, we don’t really know, or care
anymore whether it sounds
perhaps Yiddish, Teutonic, oriental, or something
completely different that which
might fall beyond, outside or between any such
brand, marker, tag, label, logo or sign ..
You see we have cried, for so long and so hard that
we can’t see, or cry anymore ..
We are lost, like so many other victims are lost to
such well-versed, political greed ..
Whereas all those high hungry churches, temples
and once pretty cathedrals
still burning out there hide behind their hypocrisies ..
But even all that, doesn’t alter the fact
they continue to use and abuse such vilified names
as a foil, or as a shield, to both
disrupt and distract, from what is really going on in
the world, behind closed doors
and all of these deliberately clouded smokescreens
they throw in the air, while systematised
bombing, killing, maiming and legitimatised genocide
go unchecked in Kiev, Gaza and Syria
just to name, a few of the big ones, so go on, I double
dare you to take a good, long and hard
look at the news headlines today and if afterwards ..
You are not completely blinded too,
then you will almost certainly begin to see what I mean ..

- Comment from author about the poem: Sometimes but increasingly often these days, one has to look deeper than what they want one to see and to believe in .. That is of course if you want to see clearly .. They are very good at playing such dangerous and underhand games .. The bullies, the despots, the bigots, the liars and most unchecked presidents and political leaders I mean .. Thanks for taking a peek .. Neville

Neville you have hit a sensitive spot. I like to consider myself antipolitical but I have recently been prodded by current events into writing some political posts and have another one ready to put up. They are not for either side in what I see as a bad guys and worse guys battle so its hard to cheer but it is about the absurdity of history reenacting itself and no one seeming to notice or care. Maybe they just feel helpless and don't know what to do. This poem hits hard and boils the blood. You might want to check out Rashomon or one, two, three, four.... five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
