In the finest tradition
by Elouise
In the finest tradition
of street money politics
abuse of power flourishes.
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Before our eyes
In and out of headlines
Behind closed doors
Projected in a heartbeat
Tweets and twitters
An ever-present reminder
Of the cost to those
Who just say No
Or fail to do obeisance
A legacy
not easily
bankrupted
feeds from one
generation
to the next
exploiting
fear gone viral.

Couldn’t agree more. What have we done?

And not done….If you figure it out, I’d love to hear a solution that works from the ground up! We seem to get loster and loster and loster. Trapped in a maze of words, hints and degradations. Thanks for the comment.

i am happily not on twitter….besides, the writing on it is too condensed for my tastes, always leaves something out there for interpretation and often to no good gain. ❤

100% agreed about twitter! Great observation about its limitations, too. Definitely not for the likes of me.
