Government of the Moneyed

Creative Writing, Poem, Poetry, Uncategorized 1 Minute 
Black is the day that the shadow
Fell over our land.
All want the cannon gibberish while
Freedom drinks hemlock like Socrates;
Powerful men control speech.
The strongest, through their money,
Create their government
Of portals and addresses.

Strong they are,
And great among the nations.
They silence the voices of the dissident.
They crush opposition with silence.
Silence, they say, is the enemy.
Yet, when skilled voices are
Stopped, the strong are made weak
Through silence...

How can my voice break through?

Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
