Power Has Its Limits Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

The equinox; place, time and date
of late; questionable as to global position a
situation arrived at, due to an ongoing condition
however, constrained by those powers that be the
knowledge thereof is one too terrible, you'll see…
Where ‘power' and ‘purpose' once ruled every decision
is now haste, waste, and turmoil; along with mirth and derision.
Social demand is ruled by chaos replacing life ruled by each season
leaving reason to sour in the ‘fields of persuasion's onions'. These
‘onions' being both tasty and rash, of gentile sensation or tastes
quickly thrown from one's mouth; bitter and nasty causing one
to almost puke… Something else this! Similar to then the old
adage same; of ‘the buck stops here', relating of course to
utmost responsibility and not that ‘in season six pointer'!
‘Cap that stone'! Or attempt to if you so will! All power
can be constrained and/or limited; give that some
thought and then chill…
For to ‘chill' seems simply necessary in these
daze and times of such ‘political partisanship'
and societal ill-will… do you feel this is leading
U.S? Can you find that ‘stuff' within yourselves to
finally begin to discuss just what the hell is wrong within
these ‘United States' that causes so much international miff
and universal distrust? Beginning at the top of the heap is this
mess; a magnet for an apportionable miss-print of neo-conning
sound bites and such! There sits one corporate stooge; our
‘owned' Donald J. Trump who, to very few, is a ‘hero'; but to
the vast growing majority is proving to be quite the big smelly
pile of excrement… What else could be expected from such a
‘coin-loving' customized implement of those laying openly
above both the gentry and the peasants of these soon to
be divided united states of america. And for whose sakes?
What does it take folks? Where are your ‘Jewels'? You do
remember what those were? You remember where those
are hung? None of you; John Q or Jane Q public were born
last night! But, you all sure as hell are acting like this is the
case! You each are passive and flaccid and fixated upon
nonsense and minutia and every useless excuse to not
correct this mess! This mess being the election of an
aberration in every political sense that there ever
was! An unexpected backlash at the status-quo
held in Washington D.C.; against the alienable
and corrupt levels of endeavour by our elected
representatives with many thanks to that so called
‘Citizens United' decision by those neo-conned supreme'!
It, is all "coming home to roost" and or receiving quite the
‘roast' from those complicit and laughing all the ways to their
banks backers of that "Tea Potty" movement! Speaking of that
smelly pile of feces! Jesus! Is that lying basket of criminals ever
gloating at the busting of the masses with this latest passage
of criminally indictable ill-thought law making by those of
the ‘Grand-Ole-Potty'! You each do know that you are
being ‘schooled' by the vestige of some skulls and
some bones and some ‘wholes for the money'
chums of the neo-con deception and guess
whom, is their puppet; one orange domed
gnome! Yea, imagine the Santa Claus that
he really kowtows to! Merry Christmas to
All! All! And to each, this truly horrid fright!
If you ain't alt-right; you are in for the fight for
your citizenship, for your property, and for your
very fragile and expendable lives! Ain't no jive people!
Try and register to vote, try to get by on naught, try and
feed a family of four; just try to own your own house…
whatever for? Better yet… try buying a Geiger counter in
L.A. County! What-tha-phuuck? How and where does that
thought fit into this mix? Are you oddly spurious or justly
serious? Is the nature of this work of words cantankerous
or is it cancerous, or is it all just so much slush? Let US
return to the more than curious side of ‘power' and the
limits thereof; wherein one position, as in an ‘on' position
you would think there would be ‘light' or at least some dim
semblance of one being able to ‘sense' a glance or more
that would prove you could ‘truly see' how a connection
is ‘wired' and how ‘wired for power' implies that this ‘light'
will be seen! Maybe! One cannot express for sure, that this
will be the case! As in the most current case; political power
has been enacted behind closeted doors once again and in
such great haste that the end result is thousands of pages of
unread ill-vetted, discombobulated legalese rubber stamped by
a body politic which does no longer represent any sentiment
shared or otherwise of, the majority of the voting public, in
any ways and means, shapes or forms, comforts or norms
of the clear majority of this cun-ttree's society! I continue
to utilize this particular term in the most vile of wiles; simply
due to its truth and for all those knowledgeable smiles using
it brings onto the generally educated readership's faces!
However; and once yet again I digress… continually for
it is proper you'll see, and easily presentable with an
absolute ease… as I maintain some composure, as I
‘wright' out in free verse form these leanings political
so far from politics ‘norm'; one swaying towards the
left of lean, one sashaying towards a political right; what
is so cleaved out without a doubt is all things up front and
centralized; the middle grounds of these rounds that sound
of silenced responsibilities and ‘white-washed' personal
mores… the centralist convictions to what political power
so sores… Folks are wearied by those things furthest, by
leanings left and or right, and long for a return to bright calm
out by a straight and narrow pathway lit by a ‘centralist's clime'…
That ‘Walking Tall' and striding long, non-wishy-washy view of
life's plein; the must too' to bring truth to day light from
darkness and wicked plots, and protection from the
ill-guided misfits now holding this society's reins
in their bony tiny fingered hands… Get the
picture people? Or should I say Wake the phuuck
up sheeple! The crux of this: "Impeachment will come first
and only if legislators believe the evidence merits conviction
and removal…". You all know what it is IAM talking about now?
Yea! That thorn; in the paw of an America filled with the scorn
Of all other nations… this alone should be grounds for the pending
Impeachment of Donald J. Trump! But, are those ultimately
responsible for his reprehensible attitudes, morals, and behaviours
acting in good faith and keeping up constitutional responsibilities
in the forefront of their minds behind their faces? It is quite
evident that the answer is no. Once again, I offer up as evidence
this ‘congressional complicity' in this dark comedy being played
out upon both you and me… The news casts; all of them…
this date… 20th December 2017… Whom, I ask of each of
you; makes up the crowing crowds behind that orange
haired mad hatter? Could any group of any one's
representatives be more ‘picket fence whiter'? And as for
that single face of ethnicity to the back left of our Donald…
no tree would be a kind enough brother! So why does one
such as I, bother with all this hooting and hollering and backyard
banter? Why me? Why the phuuck not! I have not one thing better
to do this particular time of daze My trucks engine threw a rod today
My physician's health care scheme failed me this day… My D.V.T.
prognosis proved desperately negative today… I got evicted today
Need I continue?
