Iceberg

Iceberg   9/19/2013

Did you see it

Or did you miss it

The small words of truth

Buried at the bottom.

Most of the iceberg

Hides beneath the water

Just waiting to peel us open

And send us down.

No one ever listens

To the warnings

Because we all think we are invincible

And immune.

But many mighty men have fallen

And sleep forever

Because of pride

And serious delusion.

The wishing well is dry

And there is no more money

To print or spend

Because everybody took everything

And there's nothing left for us.  

More is always coming

But the end has already begun

Just when I got started

The seeds were planted 

Poisonous and dumb.  

They will lie today

And they will lie tomorrow

But like I said

I am not buying the story

And I am not taking the cheese.

There is always another message

And propaganda is all the rage

As some men never learn

And never grow. 

Many will bray and wail

About all that  is wrong

While they sling a one sided view

With no truth at all. 

They will make sure

That you see their name

Because it’s all about their ego

And who they think they are. 

But in the end

They will also disappear

Their names blackened forever

Stuck from the record

And missing from the page.
