Enslaved

 

Not by chains that bind

Nor by forced labor of any kind

Stripping ones dignity

Of their birthright divinity

Not by sharpened swords

Rather by merely words

Spoken in such a way

Emotions they do sway

Becoming way too clear

Making many live in fear

It happens again and again

Changing faces of BOGEYMEN

Scapegoating immigration

That helps overfeed a nation

Of many other important things

Being told to go home stings

Why would we build a wall

When we helped another one fall

Accepting what presidents tell you

Surrounded by deceptive milieu

Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama Trump

Selling dire full speeches on the stump

Committing atrocities clearly war crime

Getting away with murder on our dime

Here we go again my friend

Will the lies ever ever end

Entirely too easy to swallow

In our comfort we do wallow

No need to change and rise up

Tis easier to stay still and shut up

Easy to make people scared

By a simple three syllable word

Expressed with daunting hype

The following words I will type

“We share the same biology

Regardless of ideology”*

Communist Socialist Fascist

Just a few on the long list

In their dialog they do say

Usually to getting their own way

Journalist Democrat Immigrant

Delivered by the current tyrant

None ever been an imminent threat

How have we not gotten that yet

Will frighten saying foreign criminal

Like home grown ones are no big deal

Should not be such goofy doofuses

When all were once considered fetuses

Is our blood frozen or just chilled

Ignoring humans might be killed

To the winner of the war goes the spoil

Having traded blood and lives for oil

At the ease of keeping you distracted

How long will this go on protracted

Can not make it any clearer

Worst enemy is in the mirror

Up until “BOGEYMAN” this was going to be a short intro,  to what now, I do not know.  For it took on a life of its own.
