[hometext] => Mans Inhumanity
[bodytext] => I was deeply disturbed to hear the sad news, A leader’s crocodile tears and hypocritical views. For freedom they fought, for freedom they died, I and this nation shall remember with pride. Look at the scene all splattered with blood, Severed limbs, shattered bones, half buried in mud. The air filled with screams such unspeakable pain, The moans of the dying, this shall happen again. Fighting for freedom, a deceitful black lie, It’s all about money and the oil which we buy. It’s about self-interest and looking after the rich, Do they care if our soldiers end up dead in a ditch? What of mothers and fathers who forever must mourn? For as long as they live, their hearts broken and torn. The glib callous leader says, I can’t accept blame, When soldiers are killed that’s all part of the game. How many glorious leaders are on the front line? That’s something reserved for your kids and mine. Not one politician will ever stand in harm’s way, In their safe comfy armchair giving orders each day.

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. ©
