Down low to the ground
How the mighty are fallen
Their wailing all around

See the rats leave the city gates
No salary is worth this cost
See the rats leave the city gates
Realising all is lost

See the emperor has no clothes!
All facades are gone at last
The emperor has no clothes!
All blown off in the blast!

See the walls start shaking!
See ther terrified faces within
See the walls start shaking!
Locked in rictus grin

There is nowhere to hide
As this collapses all around
There is nowhere to hide
The edifice will hit the ground

There is truly nowehere to go
Nowhere now to escape the flow
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice
Will be buried in Jericho

lol. this is brilliant! I love it, Steel.
Am about to try conjuring up something about ole Tone and the condom of justice. I think that would be funny to incorporate the idea of family planning into the coalition of the willing, and flour into a cake-baking analogy.
Anyway - i'll work on these as time goes.
Great write, again.

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. ©
