Unawake

Stare at the mess.
Straight at America's chest
and see that we've progressed
barely a step
with no access to where the next
stairway is kept.
We're snared in the net
while Big Brother doesn't get checked
and he's buried in debt.
Telling us fairy tales like they're
there to protect.
Terror and jets
can spoil milk and honey- wait for
the dairy to set.
Unapologetic politicians that don't
share the regret
or share the respect.
You will never see our cares intersect;
just go to any two corners and ask
a pair of our vets.
How dare we forget
that this country has always
been very inept
With a convoluted constitution,
can't we tear it up yet?
Will you dare to reject
and put your life on the line
to vary the bet
before you feel how tight the noose is
bare on your neck?
Or put a flame to the torch that
we've been carrying wet?
Or strip away the labeled clothes
that they wear in the sect?
Unawake but aware to elect
a safer pair to abet
in a conspiracy already set that is
as scary as death.
Spare me.
I can recognize a marionette.
