Exploitation Nation

Yet another incursion for oil & money.
There are zero contexts where that would be funny.

We boast our shiny cities of freedom & truth.
We’ve heard this all our lives; a lie long in the tooth.

Tyrant dictators need surgical extraction.
Spreading democracy’s a threadbare distraction.

Many times I’ve heard that we’re freeing a people.
Hiding all the looting, each time, grows more feeble.

Colonialism by any other name…
Is still rape & pillaging of Norse Viking fame.

So, save the spin of your intentional evils.
We know what’s being done behind wings of eagles.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
