Extreme Derision

by Nicole 8/18/13

cutthroat, deep beyond the goal
slinging political slogans, risking all
imagining sweet gain, easily the slain
yet there are those voting on American soil
the unrepresented portion who say, “Win”
all of the forgotten ones – fighting for freedom
the words, “Who cares? We got this…”
turmoil within borders, rumors of wars
yet the flesh won’t die to hate
hesitate. Eternity lies ahead
no one is led – innocent bystanders float by
pray? yell? for help, at least? nope; goes the thing
