Searchlight

The searchlight waits
to illuminate the
darkness in this land
beggars they wish
for someone to extend
their hand

but we are now left
with none

a cold war peacetime
fuels of struggle of divine
magnitude and

strengthens weakness
illuminates the searchlight

armed with our expectations
ammunition set and ready
words of venomous
persuasion
am i our political
fatality?
what if i set a blaze to
everything that you've
ever made?

its not right

this cold war peace time
fuels a struggle of divine
magnitude and
strengthens weakness
illuminates the searchlight

we amass and wait to strike
CEO's bite down hard on
the teeth
that some kid gave
his arm to make
this greed lives
