City Illusion Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

City of Phoenix is a lie - an illusion - run by
incompetents and derisive fools.
Leaving nothing to the imagination as workers
lie, cheat and steal from the public.
Also, using reverse discrimination to harm and
fire those not of the right color, age or
nationality.
Causing these former co-workers to live in sheer
poverty with no alternatives - no hope - condemned
to lives of disgrace and emptiness in a pool of
yesterday's ignorance.
Vacant eyes staring, wondering what has happened.
They were employed and now have become victims
added to the City of Phoenix's growing list of
atrocities.
A victim - not having done anything wrong -
except belong to the union.
