SPACE GATE
Powered by the blackened sun
the UFO race long since began,
Secret base given numbers
accusations of unwarranted influnence.
A dark cloak of misspent power
exists, persists, evolves and resists,
This flight of fancy ignites my morbid
curiosity at terminal velocity.
A national security agency dwelling high
above the powers that be, first contact
not know plausible deniability extended
when the truth not know by the elected.
Where ignorence seems bliss for the masses
a world beyond closer than known,
A secret society covert operations
expanding it's fear of influence
Subversion instead of choice
silenced without a voice.

I like this,
There is some spelling stuff to attend to, but minor.
I enjoyed the coiling paranoia twisting tight that you engender here, and the imagery is wonderful.

Zigs,
we have discussed this piece outside of Neo, so you already know I like it and i am also privy to what inspired it.
In short, you nailed exactly what you were trying to achieve and express with this write.
I know that Richard (Moonman) has a passion for the outer space so I hope he sees this one as I know he will enjoy it.
Good write, and well delivered...and I just love your subtle rhyming technique, expertly illustrated in this write.
regards,
HS
ps. 5 stars of course, nomination...I'll think about it!...Lol!
