If the rot is not
stopped then it will begin to
mold all the children

                                      Kelly McManus

We use to dream of
flying dandelion seeds
in air we could breath

            Kelly McManus

I hope they only
take the finer things we like
******* bars on Mars

                                    Kelly McManus

They'll ask you for more
which they'll use to crush your dreams
that's the way it seems

                                         Kelly McManus

Lest we all say no
bad will continue to grow
then we'll all be gone
                
                  Kelly McManus

What happens to you
after their programming's through
only they remain

                                 Kelly McManus

Never better bet
then when you bet on yourself
as the favorite

                          Kelly McManus

They don't have the right
to jeopardize all our lives
with their wrong choices

                 Kelly McManus

Few stars in the sky
moonlight on a cloudy night
bring my eyes delight

                          Kelly McManus

End of everything
just a button push away
but you think your sane

              Kelly McManus

It's a mockery
the control freaks don't abide
by the thou shalt nots

                                      Kelly McManus

Where they go from here
looks like back to where they where
making more mistakes

                                    Kelly McManus

The thoughts that they teach
never reach the enlightened
despite their efforts

                      Kelly McManus

Two types of people
those who help them willingly
those who have morals

                          Kelly McManus

Seeking a species
whose mental prowess is more
than simply feces

                           Kelly McManus

Free from programing
but not liked by glassy - eyed
remote controlled drones

                       Kelly McManus

My buddha belly
leading the way enlighten
my kitchen again
                               Kelly McManus

Individuals
held hostage by the insane
you give it a name

                               Kelly McManus

Been brainwashed since birth
propaganda references
controlling the earth

                       Kelly McManus

Now that they've taught you
what you should do think and say
I guess it's too late

                                Kelly McManus

Brainwash our children
to think war is alright then
fold the flag for mom

                                   Kelly McManus

Say they're our servants
then why do they work so hard
at mastering us

                              Kelly McManus

Distant relative
is what you'll find when you run
away from yourself

                           Kelly McManus

The night creeps up on
daylight casting its shadow
halfway round the world
                    
                    Kelly McMamus

Unreality
time and the need for money
is a fantasy

                       Kelly McManus

The universe is
expanding as it tries to
catch up with God's Love

                 Kelly McManus

How long's the lifeline
in the hands that carry guns
ask their unborn sons

                                      Kelly McManus

As the daylight fades
into the darkness of night
that's when the moon shines

                      Kelly McManus

Who do you accept,
  in your community, just
    the deaf, dumb, and blind.

                                      Kelly McManus

Suffering begins
with loyalty to the crown
that's what I have found

                Kelly McManus

Who are they too say
who what why when where and how
we should live our lives...Kelly McManus

Public defenders,
what number of cases, do they
honestly win you?

                       Kelly McManus

Once you take people
out of the picture the world's
not such a bad place
                                      Kelly McManus

Not worth the effort
some people you court abort
with sort of a smile

                       Kelly McManus

Start  of a new day
past only remains as ash
future on its way
seconds minutes hours
months years all seem
to happen only once
like a lifetime of decay
ultimately fading away
start of a new day

So when the bombs drop
will it be then that they say
we should have listened

                   Kelly McManus

Trying to survive
amidst many warring tribes
yes  I'm still alive

                     Kelly McManus

World will have freedom
when we're eliminated
from the equation

                Kelly McManus

Civilization
what prevents it from being
the uncivilized

                     Kelly McManus

Someone must say no
to a toxic river flow
since we're the ocean

          Kelly McManus

Dreams are our wishes
though some frighten us at night
others a delight...Kelly McManus

Their minds are empty
zero visibility
of thoughts they can't see

                Kelly McManus

Nothing you can do
change transitions everything
into something new

                         Kelly McManus

Field of sunflowers
you and me under a tree  
what more do you need

                                        Kelly McManus

Some can't seem to see
no matter how bad things get
Buddha laughs at it

                        Kelly McManus

Competitiveness
can people grow beyond it
before it's too late

                   Kelly McManus

It was easy to know
it was the end of the road
when I saw you go
our paths may cross again
someday
out of the wind and rain
we could be standing
eye to eye perhaps wishing
we could spend one more
night arm in arm I mean
what's the harm
but until that day to come
we will simply be occasional
memories and I can only hope
yours of me will still be fond
now that you are gone.

Watch what you write
stakeouts are at poetry
sites both day and night

                 Kelly McManus

Why do people think
they should follow control freaks
they must like statues

                               Kelly McManus

Cause they're idiots
why they know not what they do
you follow those fools

                               Kelly McManus
