[bodytext] => Kings and queens and guillotines Broken bones and rotting spleens Short the days and long the nights Waiting for the dawning light Cells are thick with putrid air Nothing left does no one care Yesterday they led the world Into hell now they’ve been hurled Peasants who’ve been brutalized Starved and poor they’ve realized Watching there they see the ones Who’s knotted lies they have undone Gallows fade into the past Blades of steel have come at last Mademoiselle opens her arms Caressing necks that have done wrong Dreams of freedom realized But evil now has been disguised Transferred from one to the next It’s in the words just read the text Revolution is the price Of standing on the back of right But replacing like with tyranny Breeds nothing more than misery The price that’s paid is never cheep So promises you have to keep Lead the old into the new And to the dead you must be true Kings and queens and guillotines Never lose what you have seen Never slip and don’t forget Treachery’s paid with regret Michael David Morash Copyright © 2003 [comments] => 4 [counter] => 189 [topic] => 31 [informant] => mdmorash [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

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. ©
