Hands Down...

What kind of hands are sought
of the many various kinds?

Those raising their fists in the air
strike at nothing
and point their fingers
in all the wrong directions

Those that raise their fists in anger
break their bones against
all the wrong opponents
and place their hands in cuffs

Those that sit on their hands
all the while
get their thumbs stuck up their asses
and get more than blood
on their hands

Those that clap
for the ones that merely speak
and do nothing more with their hands
deserve a proper spanking

Those that wave
at hands too busy to wave back
and consider it a slight
are themselves a slap in the face

Those that only raise their hands
to be supplied with answers to every question
gain no knowledge of their own
and hold hands with zombies

When power is placed in the wrong hands
too many hands are readily held out to them
as too few grasp the hand they have
in allowing this to occur and continue

While fingers point at some other hands
to place the same powers into
so much power is kept
out of their own hands


All of this is wishing into one handand defecating into the other
while pretending this is how
dreams can be molded into something
to fill hands with more than nothing/shit

Though somewhere even now
there are skilled hands
that hold their own power
and apply it to everything they do
without extending them too far,
making them too heavy,
or putting them where they don't belong
