[hometext] => This is a poem about the awful opression of a certain head-of-state...
[bodytext] => The crushing machination wheels on Rusted steel projections riding over the dawn And nearby many crosses in lines on a lawn They think the majority backing makes it right They think only of murderous power and might The gigantic steel murder-machine with a screech and a bite Wheeling over the bloodied bodies of embryos, infants and men The monster, fattened up by money, gore, and more killing again The wraith-like metal monstrosity's blades swinging in cosmic rhythm Immorality and brutality, like a phantasmagoria spawned of the Lilim Out of the ancient chaos and cacophony of the political sea With your elitism, your rags-to-riches story, and your pedigree You arose like a revivified god from a tomb With a happy face you wield your violence and doom And you drive that Leviathan of steel At every junction causing woe and weal Pain and suffering for the sick and the poor The cries of the hungry and needy wanting more As you pretend to be on their side But you'd never sink so low to with them abide And the embryonic humans and children's silent cry No, you don't want to hear it; you want them to die And you decry the dreadful operations of the warring one Yet you'd rather not God's will, but yours be done So as the time passes, with more blood, pain, and gore The driver and the automaton become one, more and more I would like for you to be a hero, but I can't say I wish you well For your sins, for your transgressions, you'll forever burn in Hell [comments] => 1 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 41 [informant] => matariel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
