People Disguise

So – I wonder what you see – when – I look at you – looking at me – Do you look through open eyes – seeing all that eyes – don’t hide – or do you see my people disguise – the one that says – I do not want to run and hide – I wonder – what it is – that’s me – and am I – what you want to see – If you look beyond the gaze – will you peer deeper – into my maze – So – it is – with games we play – the ones we think – will make others – stay – we play each other – out of fear – never knowing – which is real – the people disguise that is hiding me – you do the same – I know that’s – true – if it were not – the games – would be through – I long for the day – I can stand – naked and bare – long for the day – when people won’t care - to see only what – they want to see – the people disguise – that’s hiding me

Wordsmith

It is odd to me – words they seem – molding us – for others dreams – playing out – a worded game – so often – written – plain as day – and yet – we see – as others do – words they – are not so true – intertwining – feelings not – for face value – at surface sought – deeper binding down the soul – fitting all – into a mold – holding us – steadfast – tight - a dreamers dream – of confined delight – wishes us – into vats – molding us – with its craft – of worded games – the word smith plays – created by the mouth of us – together – we create our counter parts – trying to balance – our own heart – never seeing – what is lost – through the words – we do impart – confine as we may – dream as you must – always remembering the words you trust – for they may mean – nothing to you – always remember – to someone – they do

Audacity!

politics – a silly people - game we play – judgment of others – with prejudice – we try to sway

great influence – is used to distort and slant – our –“in times” – which we then see – with only a stinted glace

we follow along without reason or rhyme – never checking the facts – what are our “in times” or “seasons”

like a herd of sheep – off to the slaughter – we gather in masses – with no leader – yet we follow

our masses – they gather – with cries – loud and clear – we want to follow – just make the path clear

with narrow-mindedness and preconceptions at hand – we look at our foes – with injustice – in hand

we cry out – yet we slander – all that we see – with no comprehension – that you and I make a – we

then we ask – that our leaders – make us as one – a community of peoples – with a rival - of none

those who cry loudest – will be heard – on this day – with righteous indignation – and hearts do we play

politics – this silly people – game - we do play – with the souls of others – no cares – now kept at bay

the winners in one hand – the loser – in defeat – who cares what the people think – because we follow in masses – with leaders – known not – only seen through the rose colored glasses

the glasses we choose – so not to see – because we are – followers – of the leaders - that be

never caring – and - without understanding – the slaughter is at hand – we the people – have now chosen – the lesser - of evils

the communities of people – that we say – that we are – are just sheep to slaughter – of the politics we play

all of these games – we say make us – one – really just  selfishness – when the day is done

Why?

Because we have the audacity to say that – WE WON!
