[hometext] => not really sure how to classify this one.....please comment!!
[bodytext] => I am cold I am steel I am the breath of fire that greets so many at their end I am indifferent I know no prejudice Black white jew gentile pagan are hewn As wheat to the autumn sickle I bring swift demise To tortured legions With iron spheres of serenity I am the guardian Peering out over the palisade’s edge My icy gaze piercing the horizon Whilst men cower behind the stones Men-with their fear and their delicate flesh, bone, and muscle Who wait with their pathetic muskets For me to herald the doom of others With my echoing roar For pawns to fall in front of me So that they may rush forward to claim The exposed king And I execute my duties with satisfaction Pawns are thrown to the earth to die and rot As are rooks and bishops and kings and queens and knights Privates corporals seargants drummer boys standard bearers generals I condemn them all For I am judge jury and executioner I am the cannon I am god And man is powerless.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
