[bodytext] => The endless cycle goes round and round all that’s heard is a screaming sound an atrocity here means a payback there the world gives a moan and we truly care But the process seems all locked in political control the ordinary person wonders what is their role why does this cycle go round and round when all that’s heard is a screaming sound? A sense of helplessness fills us as we look on we once felt there was hope but that’s all gone this senseless cycle is locked deep in the “game” a “game” that we know is simply insane Day follows day of outrage and death no sense of progress just another last breath for all the hopes humankind has held out all the ignoring of our one pleading shout “Peace!” we cry but it’s blown by the wind in a raging storm our hopes are pinned on this or that response and well meant verse as political actions only makes things worse This endless cycle of death and decay can’t help but bring us to futile dismay as we watch our leaders blunder and fail while louder grows each funereal wail What levers can we pull to stop this madness? what can we do our leaders to press? the future looks bleak with no end in view with politicians so blind and brains so few What we can do is do what we can be active and strident and confront their plan show we wish change in each act and word and an end to these politics of the absurd [comments] => 1 [counter] => 454 [topic] => 28 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

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. ©
