The Devil Hides

The District of Columbia
is not Caesar’s Rome
The Hill is not one of the seven
Yet the Senators
are as deadly and evil
as they were BC
Today the devil hides
and resides
in the hallowed halls of DC
With daggers cloaked
and unseen
Preparing to execute
their dastardly deeds
Hell is in our politics
disguised in grey hair
and old man suits
who stand on
the shoulders
of the good, strong women
they wish to control
Stifling their voices
Taking away their rights
To live in silence
Forever to be
a man’s possession

Punam is hosting D'Verse Poetics tonight and has prompted us to write about
good and evil.  I remembered an old poem I had written about US politics and
reworked it a little.

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine

  2. Hell is in our politics – a strong statement. I can’t believe how these politicians make choices that affect our freedom and rights – it’s sad to see how they treat women as a possession.

    1. Have you noticed how it is the men who make these decisions that affect women? Yes, hell is in out politics, at least in the US

    1. Sarah I don’t think it was ever this bad, or divisive. In the old days the most outrageous thing was a love affair with a prostitute!
