The Un-Declared War Poem by Mary Margaret Park

Jan 10, 2021
1 min read

sucking up futures

with slot machine wiles

pop go the weasels

with painted on smiles


our congress sold out

to big bidders in suits

we’re choking and gasping

our heads in their noose


keepers of fortunes

that we’ll never know

purveyors of privilege

and grifters of gold


Clinton, Bush, or Obama

who cares?

like Iraq’s WMD’s

they’re not really there


insurance brokers are

in bed with the Fed

drug makers and bankers

line up to give head


the middle class dying

one tax at a time

as cash cow elitists fleece

their pockets of dimes


economies reeling

weakened and frail

we’re dialing for dollars

in hegemony hell


higher gas prices

the lesson of crude

as OPEC’s fists tighten

on what’s left of the loot


the dollar is pitching

and yawing with debt

corrupt politicians

the real terrorist threats


we’re middle class citizens

in an undeclared war

upscale Americans are

the new working poor

One thing I sikkim game app value in gaming is having enough variety without making the platform difficult to navigate. I like checking different categories and finding something that matches my mood. Sometimes I discover a game completely by chance and end up enjoying it. A straightforward interface makes those discoveries easier because I can move around quickly without dealing with confusing menus.

I spent some time exploring this game and found it quite interesting. The interface is clean, and the controls are responsive enough to make navigation comfortable. I liked checking out the different options because there is plenty to discover. The gameplay feels accessible for beginners while still offering features that regular players can explore. Overall, it is a pleasant gaming experience.

The Jalwa Game website has a useful structure for visitors who want to learn about the platform. I liked the separate sections for registration, login, and other common topics. The FAQ section is also convenient. The website could improve by adding more independent information and reducing repeated promotional descriptions, which would make the overall content feel more informative. Visit Site

Часом знаходжу ці джерела випадково, іноді хтось скине в чат, іноді сам зберігаю “на потім”. Частину переглядаю рідко, частину — коли шукаю щось локальне чи нестандартне. Вони різні: новини, огляди, думки, регіональні стрічки. Я не беру все за правду — скоріше, для порівняння та пошуку контрасту між подачею. Можливо, хтось іще знайде серед них щось цікаве або принаймні нове. Головне — мати з чого обирати.

Information Bombs

Poem by Mary Margaret Park

 

information 

tons of it

compression waves

spilling from our computer screens

A-bombs crowding

the mind’s horizon

origins

unknown

 

time slot stampede

marked and dated

obsolete upon arrival

 

the relevant

and the arcane

 

random and

specific

 

a vast 

weigh station

of data

 

a race for the latest

 

it’s eclipse

             knowledge
