Mobs of Yesterday

Mobs of Yesterday

As the tommy gun breaks the glass and hits the block
​​​​​​The bullet struck a man
And back way back the horn band played
As the greats made their name immortalized in fame
The bullet struck a man
And all the world became the criminal stage
As the ones who made power their aim
The bullet struck a man
And to this day we call them by their names
However sad it is hypocrisy shouts
However you call it hypocrisy shouts
​​​​​​Today we watch them idolized in picture and in fame
However sad it is we call them by their name
However you call it it is the same today
Once a bullet struck a man his picture was painted the same
Though yet though there are no equal claims
As the car drives down the dirt road
And the suicide doors swing open
The bullet struck a man
As the money floats a trail of bullets
And the car goes barreling to the hideout
The bullet struck a man
As we click the remote the trigger plays
And hypocrisy shouts today it is the same
The bullet struck a man
Today we watch them idolized in picture and in fame
However sad it is listen to their name
However you call it it is the same today
Once a bullet struck a man his picture was painted in blame
​Though yet though the mobs both live today

Powerful write my friend, I have always thought this about the world wars...a man/ woman is nothing at all before they are dead then they are elevated to gods by a hypocritical system. I saw this also in the medical system during covid. Cannon fodder with no voice, those that died glorified as heros...they were not heros, just workers trying to earn a living, every one of them, just like all the other dead heros ...??

Who knows themselves so that they would devote their life to an unknown cause.  The light in the darkness.

Wow, Aaron!  You know, I really like this... and the reason is the repetitive use of  "The bullet struck a man. " I have to confess, I don't really totally understand the poem (I get the gist of it, of course... I am thinking of it as a stray bullet and even a bullet fired by a criminal ~ bank robber etc) but I do know that the line I mention really makes the poem hit home and I do really like it x

Thanks.  I don't know formal poetry.  I never have but I do pattern alot.  Sometimes I don't know my own words.  Everyone's perception is their reality no matter the judgement.  Glad you enjoy it!

Poetry is all about going with the feel of your heart and the flow of your soul... That's all I know (and I made that up myself) ?.  It was a pleasure to read your poem x

The very abridged version...

The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris

I led a boring life.
The end.

All joking aside, now the epilogue.

As a bookish...
