Then along comes a hunter
gun cocked and ready
but the day is dreary
and the drizzle makes haste

a hare runs a streak
a line toward the foliage
escaping a lead bullet
screaming for its head

the hunter stops and ponders
what shall I shoot next?
Then a deer wanders about
revealing itself

The hunter freezes
then moves ever so slowly
arbitrarily scanning the horizon
the mist moistens his brown

But the dear is alerted
and bolts for the wild
but the bullet hones closely
then penetrates
the deer screams
and dies

Food for the needy?
Its just a steak or a hamburger
the favorite food of complacency
readied about plastic wrapped

But what is the story
of this hunk of beef?
Or venison or hare
that perishes
giving up its life?

A story reminds that the pleasure of death
sorts through the unhappiness of life
bringing substance against squalor
for a minute a relief ever so fleeting
then to kill some more

Reveals what is standing
in the hearts of the minions
leaving not for a moment
the rest of exhaustion

And the hunter forages on
brings food to the starving masses
a child, family, in their humble abode
the miracle is that it is put here for all
for if not what would it be?

A little bit of sunshine snuffed out
a drizzly day passes
but the night draws near
a hunter never rests

Some people call for violent revolution. They are not in the majority. Others call for non-violent resistance, but will this do the trick? The government controls what seems like every aspect of society. But one must not blame the government for the position we are in. The real problem is that we no longer live in a representative democracy. This may be nothing new, but now the hold on power is absolute. The corporate state buys the votes of the representatives in government  as corporations are now people and are entitled to do so. Corporations are now people with “free speech rights” and don’t have to report their source of money.

The two party system never has been sympathetic to the needs of individual citizens at large. In the past the Democratic Party protected unions who were once their major contributors. Now with the fall of the unions and the move to the right of the Supreme Court, corporate influence rules the day. Libertarians make the mistake of identifying the government as the source of all our problems, when in fact the government wears the mask for the corporate raiders who actually control the levers of power. Unknowingly these Randians are dupes of the corporate state whose conglomerates have no interest in the needs of its citizens, at least not the middle class and the poor. Few benefit except the rich plutocrats.

A recent story was that there was a “loophole” in Obama’s medical plan.  A certain layer of society would receive what were considered undeserved medical benefits because those married had a joint annual income of 64,000 dollars. This supposed loophole was compared to the middle class getting welfare. Most western nations provide universal health care to their citizens, and this just goes to show how miserly the government is, and the powers behind the corporate elites serving the wealthy class. With the wealth moving to the top and the eroding of services, it would seem that something must happen, that someone must act.

The passion for wealth and power never is satisfied. The rich are removed from the suffering of the poor. If someone calls for the redistribution of wealth they are branded a socialist or even a communist. But what are the poor suppose to do, up and die with no complaints? Even if these poor Americans are willing to die out of some sort of allegiance to the country, the alternative and more likely response is a rising up of parents, intellectuals, cultural advocates, and the avant -garde in a form of class action. Whether this action is violent or not remains to be seen. Perhaps the rich will enable those with families, the ill, the unemployed to maintain a subsistence level, but the avarice of the ruling class seems to know no bounds. The levers of power rests with the corporate elite with their sock puppets the government “representatives”. There are exceptions in public leaders who serve their function as representatives, but they are dying out rather like the endangered species in the wilderness.

While the full force of the Patriot act has not been brought to bear on those suffering from this economic downturn, these tools are at their disposal and can be aimed almost instantly on any errant target.

When water flows down and encounters an obstacle, no matter what it is, if there is no relief from the ensuing pressure, the force forward of this deluge cannot be denied. Those that want it all live under the fantasy that they are in control.

The control only lasts as long as the sleeping giant lies.
