"I'm Pacing Here!"

"I'm Pacing Here!"

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Pacing is the key!

"
How many creative ways can I express my dissatisfaction

with the wanna-be Nero fiddling while the nation


goes up in flames all around him, yet he's unwilling to 

see

just how inflammatory his harmful and hatred rhetoric 

will be,


is, to the very foundation of what our country's built 

upon.

The place where the underdog can lift themselves up 

will soon be gone,


replaced by a world in which only the monied few

will have a chance, a kingdom of alternative reality for 

me and you.


Always speak the truth is gone, it'll be flexible to fit 

your needs.

Beware of the monster, hungry for power, lurking in 

the weeds.


Yet we've not been beware, we've willingly invited him 

in,

the ego-bull in the china shop, we lose, and only he 


wins.


The blue-collar's savior will soon turn out to be 

anything but,

he'll turn on them so fast, with rabbit punches to the 

gut


I really fail to understand why they think this pho-

billionaire

will suddenly change his stripes and understand their 

concerns, or even care.


Yes, I've got to figure out a way to sound the alarm, 

almost every day,

I need to spread out my rants, 'I'm pacing here!', 

there's got to be a way!
