'Mes Chers Compatriots' - A Bus Converstion. Comments

'with smiles in front and daggers in back'....this rant like poem speaks of passionately felt anger and intuitive visions which touch many nerve endings. Yes wisdom of complacence is the halmark of veterans, of those who have been trummeled i.e. tossed like chafe and seperated from the spirit leaving a heavy and inflexible summation of life which does little to address more current matters and needs of ideals. We have not done our best to prevent the onslaught of war or poverty or rape. When the questions arise we hear familiar answers which do little to address the issues. Like listening to politicians proclaim their dedication to fixing the ills which are incurable. It is these politicians we leave in charge of our destiny and they have their own ambitions to attend. This poem churned up many thoughts of injustice and apathy, things we all contend as members of an afflicted society.
