something else

it no longer matters
if you write the greatest novel
(what matters is the marketing)
even with a black Democrat President
two wars with no end
(Republican agenda)
even if you are not a terrorist
you will be treated like one
(prison -led recovery)
and all these poem petitions?
(destined for deletion)
it does seem to matter if you are a rich rapper
if you sing for the bling ,with a photogenic girlfriend
yet even the rich in Russia get jail terms
when criminals are in power/they hate opposition!
Corruption matters-police,armies,monies-
drug wars are like wars on poverty and cancer
(every body loses).What people want is
something else.

(i have a bird outside my window-
it is a red cardinal
s/he visits intermittently by mornings
sometimes s/he sings
but that's something else entirely...

today 's chill morning blue sky
still sees walkers striding by
no matter what we do or try
there will always be
something else..
