[bodytext] => There he stands the wooden ham actor Well rehearsed but so slow Controlled by speechwriters Pinnochio Joe Raise this eyebrow, raise that Stare deeply, now frown Not even an actor More misguided clown Played from above By puppet master strings Who really Is behind all these things? Who writes the speeches Of danger and death? Who pushes your buttons To create intake of breath? Who knows what to say To make you fear? Who chooses the words They want you to hear? Like some old record player When the needle is stuck They’re taking no chances Nor leaving to luck They see this puppet With his small repertoire The buttons are few But they know what they are Danger! Warning!! Enemies around! He will protect you! This baying hound! And if his actions Are those CAUSING fear...? Self-fulfilling prophecies To BRING danger here...? Well, then he says... “See, I was right all along!” And old Pinnochio Joe Just keeps singing his song [comments] => 3 [counter] => 215 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [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. ©
