Breaking our Spokes

follow the money

What goes UP must come down.

how do you want to land,

purposefully or chaotically;

proud and able to bend,

or broken in shards of the

opaque glass hiding the truth?

Are the planes crashing all over

a warning to America,

a symbol of the crash-and-burn policies?

Is the universe nudging,

giving hints to be attentive

to use caution

prepare

Follow the money, and look at the broken spokes.

Who breaks the spokes on a bike they are riding?

Only someone who has more bikes

they who don’t fix, but instead toss out.

Follow the money

diggety-doge dollars are unlimited

so your purchase power can

influence those who enjoy and like to break our spokes,

all the groups who care nothing for others,

but only money and power

Take back your power.
