Dead Men Rule
Among the livin
are dead men
walkin
still talkin
sayin’ nothin
to the masses
Stacked upon
blood and
money
and money
and blood
dead men rulin”
from the souls
of the families
they eat
even their own
relentless
repetitive
ruin
lies on loop
generation
after
generation
these dead men
believe they are
alive
and most days
it seems the
livin are eager
to oblige

This is a complicated piece to me because its a hard truth too: love the symmetry in “dead men rulin/from the souls/of the families/they eat/even their own…”
It is a hard truth for us and complicated more because the reality is so layered. We give our power away in heartbreaking proportions. Thanks for allowing yourself to feel the weight. I am right here with you.
You get to the soul of things! Love it!
thank you Linda!
