The Barons (On 501(c)4)

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Sharon

They can buy anything they want
pay for it ten times over
be so gentle and kind in public
and oh so politically correct
while their money
does the dirty work
all that money
does the dirty work
sowing poison in the ground
and mutations in the seed
poisoning
the
wells
of
liberty
while they give a little gala
to support their favorite charity.

About Sharon

Like anyone who lives long enough, I have experienced great loss and survived. I am convinced that my survival depends on my own participation in creating the reality I am living in, and I am determined to be a thoughtful and active participant/creator. These writings are my way of documenting that creation. As the song goes, "I will survive!" I chose the title Staying Vertical because I find that surviving isn't just staying on my feet physically. Keeping my thoughts and emotions on the vertical plane keeps me alive and moving forward. Thanks for joining me!
