Strewn along to believe the lies of the unjust <br />Put faith into the wrong accord, I have misplaced my trust <br />Through rusted pipes of lies there lay dead dreams below us <br />Never connecting webs together, they say I shouldn’t fuss <br />I’m confused, angry, turned upon my very own foundation <br />If I could paint a canvas there would be negative illustration <br />I was on a path to a future with a strong hold <br />Now I stand on this new plain if I may be so bold <br />I question why I’ve been betrayed by the leaders <br />I am derailed from my path by the corporate bottom feeders <br />Enough, I demand answers till my breaking point is reached <br />Life, Liberty, and Happiness, the guarantees in life are breached <br />I feel as if a giant dam has broken and we cannot float <br />Instead of rising to the top, Titanic is our boat <br />There is no letting up by the officials in the ton <br />Pull yourself up by your boot straps they tell us again <br />I say enough is enough my friends, open up your portals! <br />Or we will be mislead again by these lying mortals <br />So as we are sinking deeper, you along with I <br />Will we sit back together and watch our country die? <br />Who will stand up for the people and fix the results of lies? <br />We cannot take this sitting down; they won’t catch us by surprise! <br />We deserve better for our working every single day <br />And in the end it isn’t us, but it’s you that should pay. <br /> <br />9-23-08<br /><br />Jesse Tampa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-poem-about-deception/
