my political voice
Yes everyone, The post many have waited for! Derrick on Politics! Here is my VERY free verse poem on politics for my class. I hope you guys enjoy. btw: Great weekend!
“My Propaganda” By: Derrick Nicholas Ferrara
Way too Liberal
Way too ultra-conservative
More propaganda
Lies, Lies, Lies!!!
It all exists
Times, Newsweek, Fox, NBC
Never real reporting
Never unbiased
If you don’t like what I say
Fuck it, the truth hurts
I tell it how it is
Not what the letter says beyond my name
I don’t want an R or D
How about just a little me?
Don’t like the war?
Don’t fuckin’ enlist
You do like the war?
Do you like seeing your peers die?
Freedom of speech is great
Only in small doses…
And without stupid people talking
If you do not like to pledge “under God”
Just DO NOT SAY IT!
Say Allah or Buddha or Satan instead
or Don’t say anything!
You see, it’s all fun and games here
Even when people get hurt
They don’t care for you, the people
Only for the party’s collective view
Yes, it takes many people in congress to form one view
And this is America, fuck yeah!
Our lives
Our world
And let the truth be told!
Don’t protest outside a political building!
Idiot!
They laugh as you get arrested
Write poetry instead
It’s what I do
And I feel much better than you
Not that you political cocksuckers even care
But when not behind bars,
At least my voice gets heard!
