Cherries, Chocolate & Coffee
From the earth this food
of liberation
Representing health,
taste, fun, high and libation
These foods of capitalism,
laissez-faire and passer
For the true Liberal does
not take but produces fair
Woe betide a world that
acts against the metaphysics of reason
It ends up dislocated, sad
and in the pit of self-immolation
Sound familiar as you
realize it’s the world around us?
Where even the wealthiest crowd
has poverty pits of puss
In this unreceptive world
racked by greed, the vectors lead
Decision to remain aloof
in idealistic clouds, or fight the creed
Reality remains objective
no matter what is pretended
A war to even the rewards
even if some feel upended
So act your values,
conscience if you will
To even the score using
the political avenues even if shrill
A rounded world can exist
in your mind at the same time
The line ends where rights
of others are cracked by your chime
