The Endless Monsoon

The Endless Monsoon

A Poem by butterfly

In the blue bayou
where they promised life was good
Thirty years reveal a strange truth
Your home is not yours
the only place you know is kicking you out the doors
Separating fathers and daughters
husbands and wives
tell me how again protecting fetus is pro life
I cant sleep
my lover leaves me lonely
giving me excuses living a second life with the one who abuses him
who is the true victim
people stuck in unhappy marriages
people needing a secret double life
people in black robes with evading answers and maple lies
is the gold in our lands fake
why is America now a country filled with so much heartache
How can we assist Ukraine
We still figuring out how to heal our own country's pain
All the rich and intelligent brain
A graduate of a elite university
Yet why is the world in so peril
Are we fulfilling politic dreams?
when the leaders are the most qualified
yet the Democrat and Republic want to continue the fight
Putin has plans for more bombs no thought to the cost of life
in Sudan a world starves
Tent city grows rapidly where you are
Where is your pro-life heart?
When will you adopt the illegal undocumented immigrant
When will you see the man in the dark
sleeping in the van, fully clothed on the ground
Don't these warrant the protection for the sanctity of life
All the five judges answer the questions with blank stares in their eyes
who is affected
who is protected
the problem is we are thinking only of the material thing
I too want to save our souls
Sadly no one has a spare angel wing
when its all out of control
Where do you go
Where do you run
Even in the blue bayou
Where dreams should come true
Its another ugly view
Real life is not a fairy tale
Its a potato chip gone stale
for some there are no happily ever afters
just endless confusing chapters
In the blue bayou
after 50 years we reveal a strange truth
we time travel back to the past
to find that USA SCOTUS, Democrat, Republican dont care about me and you
The rich get more comfortable while the poor sheep stuck to work for its keep
Its time to revolt, on this July 4 remember the reason, look to the core of life
Is it body needs, money dreams
or are we something more
human and divine
we must return to what we were meant to be before
Trump came along, the white supremacist gave their power to achieve the wrong
They may have cost their spell it wont be strong
A higher rests on high for the innocent for the just
I feel the true army speaking
Giving me words for dreaming
Even in the dark blue bayou
Where they promise life is good
The turning of the tide will come soon
We will add a sweet cream to this bitter coffee
Turning life in to one great toffee
In the great blue bayou
I will find sweet solitude
A room for peace in the endless monsoon.
