[hometext] => Once again, if anything in this rant offends you, you have my apologies in advance.
[bodytext] => Everywhere you look, you see it. We have grown complaciant in the fact that we know it's all around us. It makes no qualms about who it infects. The weak, the strong. The rich and the poor. From the factory worker to the president. We all hold the repressed tendency for evil, for greed. We all want to fight for our freedoms, but fighting a war with nothing to gain is pointless. As the people who fight die, we begin to feel numb to the loss. Corruption is also spread through out the legal system. If someone smuggles drugs into this country, or if someone destroys the innocence of a child, who do you think gets the longer sentence? "Sorry little Sue, but we can't have crack on the streets. You understand, right? Come on, take one for the team." Law enforcement? You bet! Some are nice people. But some go home to their nice homes and wonderful family, and then don a white sheet, burn crosses and assault African-Americans. We see these stories on the news and wonder what causes it. Could it be the fact that mankind is born with a tendency for evil things? No. It's because the road to evil is far less rocky and far more smooth.

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. ©
