The political scarecrow

mandated on oath to prune the
giant tree, plough it fruit and chop
it down at the appointed time

but you prostrate naked before
the unusual tree, smiling, laughing,
begging and pleading for a peanut
of your genetic cake

you adore the sear-hearted tree,
concur to her oath of lie and betrayal
- the mouthpiece of the idol tree

"i'm the pillar, the flag and banner
seeing me is seeing all, share me
the looted cake and no one will cough"

not enough
you borrow the arm of the mighty tree
infect our downtrodden life
with panic diseases

o, dear political scarecrow!

how real
will your smile fall the dramatic tree
erected on our mother's corpse
to confiscate our inheritance

can laughter transfigure the giant tree
planted on the path of the common grass
to impede sprouting buds?

how sure
will contending for bloody seat
uproot the draconian tree
lay to extirpate green grass?

how long
will pleading transplant flagitious
tree cultivated on our father's tomb
to block the path to our heirloom

how long
will you fetch from political stream
with sieving basket of a half-wit

why not with modern urn
to serve the common

o, dear political scarecrow!

It seems like you're using a scarecrow to symbolize political figures who aren't doing much. The giant tree represents something important, maybe life or growth. They're talking about chopping it down but not really changing anything meaningful.

While scrolling through my feed, I stumbled upon this intriguing poem that paints a picture of societal influence and power dynamics. It's like reading a metaphorical symphony where every line is crafted to evoke the tension between old guard and new entrants. The post questions whether political figures are genuine or just empty symbols, using hyperbole to highlight their ephemeral nature. It’s a sharp critique, blending wit with a probing analysis of power structures.

The government's actions are unfair and frustrating, especially when they target us on our own path of common grass. I wish you weren't so-packed with roots that they can just plow them up without considering the impact. Maybe if they thought about our struggles more, they'd find a better way to support us instead of tearing down what makes us resilient.
