Jaws flapping with eyes on the nigh and a conscience on naught
Plenty of noise about right and left but nothing about right or wrong
Throwing millions away while millions starve
Shitting on the masses while pleading for admiration
Constructing a maze while calling it confusing
Pointing at others while doing nothing
Laughing at nonsense while slitting throats
Preaching moral lessons while robbing the destitute
Throwing smoke screens while committing atrocities.
What is to be done with you? What can be done to you?
Signs waving with a resolute conviction and one ambition
They march on If you spread misinformation They march on If you subvert the truth They march on If you bring your hired guns They march on If you try to stop them They march on

Welcome to DS, Swindle Sheet. Can I ask where your name came from?
As for your piece, Im really enjoying its flow. Subtle rhythm... Carries you along, very natural. The middle felt a little longer than it should have been(for me at least), otherwise very much enjoyed. Thought provoking write.
Looking forward to some of the other comments this piece will stir up! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Swindle
Welcome to DS :-)
Nice write. I enjoyed it a lot. Really good political statement and echoes some of my own feelings. I don’t see any other thing I can comment on right now but I will read it again. Not in a good place for it right now. Looking forward to reading more from you. :-)

Thanks. My name comes from Roget's 21st century thesaurus. One day I was looking for a synonym for "record", and that stood out. So far this forum is straight.

We march on, we have been stamped into the grease which is used to oil the machine. The machine itself is made of things, like actions & plans & decisions, but there are many lesser components made of us. Property was the begining, valued things came after... The situation always evolving. Manipulating power & wealth. We as a contemporary collective of human beings cannot (even with the help of written & spoken history) remember a time where some form of aparatus has been in use. Even our native ancestors, in fact their records came first, the earliest examples.
