The Powers That be

What a life!
These are a people
for whom allegiances
and dreams were staged.
Homes of crystal and wood
moving along an ivisible page
of hypocrisy..craters encircled by colossi
and gifts in upward palms roar melodiously~
In the fires, rebels ring in ode to the pennant;.
their finishing chimes and clamors in the gorge.
..while the giants congregate in robes,
as dazzling as light on mountain peaks-
protected in fleets and gathered
to the bossom of brambles and pearls.

Darling Billy ~
sweets .. I have been trying to pen something quite similar to
this for months now. I could never capture the sentiment
through my words regardless of effort.
The powers that be .. (no matter what hierarchy we speak of)
have an uncanny ability to justify and rationalize anything
and everything, in order to perpetuate their already priviledged
existence ..
be it world, country or office politics .. it can be draining and oh
so tiring to deal with- not to mention emotionally taxing!
This piece is so colourful and true to form!
You, as always, have ability far surpassing the norm, sweetheart.
And your diversity is limitless ..
XO

Though because it is not a poem I cannot actually find the proof online (it is a book a lenghty essay in poetic fashion) but this oddly sounds a lot like excerpts from "Drum Taps" by Walt Whitman. So I placed a few lines in google and not surpisingly a Drum Taps showed up. This is not your work, but I cannot show the 100 percent proof. Still I know and Uncle Walty knows this is not yours! YOU STOLE FROM UNCLE WALT YOU DAMNED MORON!
If poets had a seperate hell surely you have a nice warm seat! I hope the sweaty toothed madman comes to haunt your dreams, jack!
