The disconnect
Mantra of truth
grass roots grits, grains of salt,
grains of sand sifting, rifting,
shifting dunes on the beach
windswept or eroded by waves
trickle through the channel
of an hourglass.
Improv agitators
go lone wolf and whole hog
through shadowy ice fog;
a gangster rapper's words
of angst wrapped in rag paper
word salad drawl, primordial ooze,
muck and mire.
The Woodstock nation
invaded, occupied
a puppet government set-up
by an evil entertainment empire
prevent the domino effect within
the iniquity of inequity.
Crossbred clones and clowns
use cryptic tactics of scheming skeptics
jury rig, gerrymander,
stack the deck, stack the court,
sleight of hand slingshot soliloquies,
bullet riddled ballot boxes.
