Unions today are around 10% of the workforce,
down from 35% through the forties and fifties and sixties and seventies
Ronald Regan a b-movie star
better known for his union busting activity to industry insiders
was elected president
and the “neo-cons” began their reign
“how do you know?” the liberal class scream
(an underperforming division of this new empire)
oh how do i know?
a few get richer and wages have stagnated (politely)
in the last thirty years…
it’s well documented read a book
bukowski told me the americian dream
was never alive and even then
it still died
tax cuts for the rich is not an idea
for the common good
it benefits those who have ample
so as a small act of protest i made a move for the left
which resulted in an official goal
the union was in position
and conditions got better
4:38 PM
i have raked the gravel drive
to an eastern inspired cabin
i have rented for the winter
nestled quietly in a mountain
the owners are lovely
he a writer and she a travel agent
and vice versa
there place well looked after
and well thought out
for example
the windows open
to a view of a jutting
mountain i have seen before
Besides
i’m assisting julian assange
by transmitting my well wishes
and strategy through brain waves
to the
unfettered capitalism leads to perpetual war
and as my good friend john lennon suggested
“let’s give peace a chance”
the industrial military complex must stop
for that “Peace thing” to happen
we, the liberals, evil hippies, all know
A thanks
At this time i would like to thank my readers and authors for making these terrible poems possible
especially my Korean contingent who’s faithful friendship
has been a source of comfort during difficult times…
An Explanation
art is not in need of an explanation when it comes from the left
art from the right needs an explanation…hence post modernism
peace on earth
take care
poetizing good night
