The store has eyes
The store can see
And it’s my job to monitor
The sights it shares with me
Loss prevention my focus,
My job, store security
The store opens its eyes to me
It lets me take a look
It let me see the loaf of bread
The hungry young man took
But this man
He was no common thief
He had no job, no money, no food
In my observation, it’s my belief
A desperate man did
What he felt he had to do
A fight they claim they’re winning
But if by stupid luck they win
It’s US who lose the fight they’re in
Please take the gavel away from them
Tighter gavel control I’m protestin’
Gavel down
Gavel down
Said a prisoner in reply…
Are you so close to the forest
That you can’t see the trees
Have you lost sight of what it means
To be living truly free
Please look into a mirror
Before reacting otherwise
Before knee-jerking and crying wolf
Check for dark spots in your eyes
You claim
Dark spots on the sun
My aim
Is not to prove you wrong
Only to make sure
Any dark spots you may spy
Are actually on the sun
And not painted on your eyes
Why do people not see
The value in truth?
Honesty is Abe Lincoln
Not John Wilkes Booth
Still the lies get the lines
At the media’s ass-kissing booth
While integrity’s gone missing
And the truth gets the boot
This is John Harlan Willis' story and why he is a true hero. - rAveNswAn
Wrote Evidence of the Footfalls of Freedom and published it in the This Journal Belongs To Jakeb Hoke collection with the novel, Through the Kindness of Ravens.
Evidence of the Footfalls of Freedom was inspired by something I had read in one or more of many books on the Revolutionary War. A commander of the Continental Army had written in their journal how they had looked down at the ground from riding their horse beside the marching army to find many of the soldiery were barefoot and bleeding on the snow.
It’s all about perspective. Well, here is mine.
I am so tired of mainstream media. I wrote Make Everyone Drown In Affect – M.E.D.I.A. a number of years ago. Sadly, it not only still applies today, but applies even more.
As I mention in Don’t Listen To The Voice Of Treason, it is not the type of writing I want to put out here. I did so more because I believe I needed to. It costs a fortune to put our children through college and political agenda is not what we were paying for. Not to mention, it is just wrong to take advantage of people when they are emotionally vulnerable, but that has not stopped it from becoming commonplace in our world today.
This seems to be a lot of our country right now...ungrateful.
