The Big Lie

in #poetry8 years ago

 

Whenever I listen to popular opinion

 I witness the proclamations of how the recession has concluded

 How the tough economic times are found in the rearview mirror

 The ‘official’ unemployment rate adheres to a downward trend
 

All while they stare at statistics produced by the statists

The cost of purchasing a house has risen since the 2008 bubble
 

A pristine housing bubble inflates while hidden in view

 I step back to observe the bigger picture

 I gather the necessary information from diverse sources

 I condense my discoveries into chewable bites

 I realize the obvious is true
 

I’m not alone in my convictions

My worst fears about the economy are correct
 

The unemployment rate is far higher than reported by the statists

The national debt has skyrocketed over the past decade

Global conflicts have intensified in due step
 

Hyperinflation appears imminent for all statist currencies

Worst of all

The people have become delusional and aggressive  

They have divided themselves along several boundaries

The presidential election in America is months away
 

Most continue to believe their fate rests in one person’s hands
 

The self-dubbed ‘leader of the free world’
 

Few consider to think outside the ballot box
 

Fewer still understand recessions are normal occurrences in a market system
 

But this recession is artificial altogether  
 

The statists have prevented the freedom to fail  
 

The necessary component to economically correct ourselves
 

If individuals understood the economic consequences politicians have caused
 

And they realized their power to create abundance and happiness

A peaceful revolution through serial entrepreneurialism would begin before sunset

 

I realize the truth is hard to swallow

Nobody can save us except ourselves

Vote with your money and creativity

Never participate in the election of corrupt psychopaths  

Their appetites are satisfied by throwing us under the speeding bus
 

They are policy makers that happen to enrich themselves at our expense
 

They never were innovators except of the arts of thievery
