[hometext] => This is a story of two patriotic people, and what happens when one patriot's ideals gets twisted.
[bodytext] => Two men will pass this way to-day One is good, and noble, and industrious While the other broods only upon The vile, the wretched, and the spurious Each trods a similar road On the march toward his majority One will hold high office The other, mass destruction his priority Then comes a fork in the road Exactly where, no one can say Each chose the path he would take And somehow, - one lost his way Now both men have formed their intent Each, in pursuit of his quest One, to serve his neighbour The other, pain and sorrow his bequest Too late! The die is cast! Though the signs were marked plain enough The first would endure great hardship While the other didn't have the right stuff As the sands of time run their course An unknown scribe pens his final verse The good man is remembered warmly While the other provokes only a curse When history alludes to the Georgia man It notes his Presidential way As for the Oklah felon - He's reviled as Bomber McVeigh - Stoney, 1998 This was an effort to come to grips with the starkly contrasting behaviour of some individuals in our society, by juxtapositioning the lives of two of its contemporaries; Jimmy Carter and Timothy McVeigh.

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. ©
