| I ACCUSE ! |
I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded, is more acute than the pleasure of much praise. Thomas Jefferson |
I ACCUSE - a government for a culture of crime, deceit and fraud, A harbor for those who seek power, influence and control at any cost, Their use of any means to secure their benefit and extend their reach, And the lies they speak to conceal their stealth of our birthright. I ACCUSE - a philosophy that demeans and deceives the people, Their claim for seeking the advancement of their cause falls short, They appeal and spin with promises for all the benefits that will come, But never create and only steal from those who produce that wealth. I ACCUSE - a media who protects and fosters the myths of confusion, And those talking heads whos skill in duplicity is their only talent, The networks that own the channels of discourse and propaganda, That pursue the goal to shape the future, through distortion of the past. I ACCUSE - the churches that value their tax exempt status more than Truth, For their silence in the face of evil by the rule of the serpents of darkness, And for their allegiance with the false fruits that come from that Tree, Where promises are made by those who betray but only sorrow reigns. I ACCUSE - the bureaucrat that administers the schemes and programs, That destroy the fabric and substance of the society they manage, And promote the loss of personal dignity and responsibility, For they assert that all will prospers, if only more is given to them. I ACCUSE - the lawyers for advocacy of their class and their own interests, At the cost of those who they claim to serve in the defense of Liberty, Lost to a bygone time, when men sought honor not greed or control, And wish to protect and advise those who are in need and distress. I ACCUSE - the teachers who foist the sophistry of falsehoods and errors, Upon the minds of our most valued gift and the future of the Nation, Out of their devotion to their secular god of ubiquitous humanism, That trains each sheep to follow the leader to accept his role and place. I ACCUSE - the corporate financier who works for the quick buck, While the public pays more for shoddy goods and inferior service, As the work force looses their means for a livable working wage, So that the imports can continue to drain the wealth from the land. I ACCUSE - the military for saluting the folly of the immoral policies, That seeks to rule the world as our own people struggle to be free, And shed the blood of souls in far off regions, to keep the oil flowing, Even when the tariff goes up and extracts a higher price that all will pay. I ACCUSE - the judges that allow for the abuses to persist and continue, While the hope and faith in the rule of law is undermined and destroyed, By those who are determine to rule over the rest, for their benefit, at our cost; As the noble gentry scold us as to obey as they protect and pardon their own. I ACCUSE - the economists that serve their corporate/government masters, While they conceive more elaborate schemes to defraud and mislead, Adding new Futures and Options to the Derivatives of the scams, As the welfare and retirement of the investors suffers and vanishes from view. I ACCUSE - the women who demand the right to murder their unborn child, And are willing to accept the abuse from their heroes who seduce and charm, While they are denigrated by the specious rhetoric from their NOW sisters, Who worship the idol of socialistic plenty, at the cost of their own dignity. I ACCUSE - the men for accepting the subservient role that has belittled their status, And has relegated them to forego their place and responsibility to their wife, Which has taken its toll with the breakup of families, and the turmoil of children, As the village claims to supply the place, where love and guidance once stood. I ACCUSE - the student for wanting all at once, without learning the ways to achieve, And doubting their elders, who have dedicated their lives for a better life for them, Even when they falls short and flounder as the hero they wish they could be, For this wisdom will only be known, when these youth grow up and, have their own. I ACCUSE - the stock investors for wanting to appropriate wealth without work, And interest without risk, as his neighbor flips the burgers at the drive through, Not my problem says he, I clip my coupons for free and pay nothing to support, These losers who never saved in their 401K and IRAs, have to bear their fate. I ACCUSE - all of the people for allowing this perversions to grow and continue, They seldom are concern and almost never interact with the culprits of deception, For they live for themselves, and have no concern for others and their country, I have mine and who cares anyway, I dont have long to live, so to hell to the rest. So tell me if this list deserves the condemnation of America? Or is your idea of the Land of the Free, distorted because you are one of the above? The choice is yours. While the consequences and born by all of us. SARTRE - January 21, 2001 |
