About Me
- Name: Bruce K. Gagnon
- Location: Brunswick, ME, United States
The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

From the Window All Is Clear
Two old poets on a train
sparks fly as they
share their words
both understanding
the rage and severe
disappointment,
depression
that veterans
rightly feel
Betrayed
by the flag
and the great white fathers
who sit inside the company house
fabricating stories
to sell war
and thievery
From the rail car window
the signs of decay
are everywhere
crumbling
boarded-up factories
in Worcester
homeless lined up
waiting for a meal
but nothing is free anymore
there is always a price to pay
Das Kapital sailed
to distant shores
where the poor
are even poorer
and work for next to nothing
Those at the top
of the pyramid
always casting about
for new ways
to pay for their 3rd home
in the Hamptons
Back in the
‘Land-o-the-free’
states pass laws
banning minimum wages
fearing that workers
might be able to feed
their families
such a revolutionary
concept
