How The World Governments Will Control Us In The Not To Distant Future Comments

Oh! I just spied that drink cup 'n' straw in the photo. KFC, Wendy's, or McDonalds? ?

James, for 1- your throwing your? opinions/ideas/beliefs out for all readers (including the 'government, no doubt' to see) AND for your very fine rhyming AND for a nice alliteration or two AND for the flow of the poem (& for the ice cream your sent) , I give you *****.

** the word 'espouse': 'espouse ĭ-spouz′ transitive verb To adhere to or advocate. To take in marriage; marry. To give (a woman) in marriage. I'd only heard the first definition before, that I recall.

I MAY not, or I May, endorse the 'negative-combined-with-positive' outlook you espouse *** (see 'espouse' definitions in another comment; only 1 of them fits here) but I defend your right to your opinion(s) . bri : )

last stanza: 'we'll throng'? I found 'throng' as a noun and as a verb (I've heard it used as a noun only I think) . Throng, as a verb, I found defined as 'crowd upon' and 'crowd into'. ok. bri ;)

(cont.) ...the U.S. was also 'supposed to be' a country of 'Liberty and Justice for All'. Well THAT hasn't always been the case, HAS IT? You continue to 'make fine rhymes'. Back to the reading. : )

'A promise of defiance'? Are we 'lookin' at' another revolution of people against a government? The U.S. government is supposed to be 'of the people, by the people, for the people' according to 1 U.S. president. But...(cont.) it

Who IS 'that' handsome man? stanza 7: 'Yet in the face of darkness, a spark remains'? James, I THOUGHT you were going to speak of me, Bri, & PLUG my POEMS! ! !

And so far the title is 'fine' [[except for your use of 'to', which should read 'too'. I'm glad you used 'Will Control' etc., not 'Are Controling', though soon enough I MAY need more control (then I may choose death over 'control') ! !

James, I'm through stanza 3. I 'love' 'media's manipulation'. BUT, WAIT. Your poem's words ARE 'media manipulated', NOT 'what I typed from my (limited) memory. I liked those two words for ALLITERATION'S SAKE, not their meaning. : )
