“Choices We Make” by Lynne Taetzsch
term of art
social contract
default preservation
of natural rights
an enshrinement
of two-party choices
enabling a freemarket
freehand employment
it underscores truth
about systems of
capitalist economics
that freedom is risky
acknowledging
he who has earned
the most choices
possesses real power
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Okay, so I get to risk being the first to respond to your poem. (gulping!) You manage to walk the not-so-tight rope between art and political commentary without needing a net. So many who attempt this so clearly could use a net… and perhaps a jacket as well. I debated if you withhold enough for this to be excellent. On third reading, it’s probably as close as you’d want it to go and still make you point.

Words are powerful. So is what is not said. Shadowlands of something hard to understand but we live with every day

Well I reckon you’ve said it all Paul. Less is more when a stark fact is made clear. Moreover, the old socialist that is me can find not a thing to disagree with here. Facts after all are facts, save that yours are eloquently noted in the artform that is your own pleasingly unique brand of poetry
