[bodytext] => Woe to you, o earth and sea! More madness is to follow. War and conflict by decree From a leader o so hollow. The people scared, indoctrinated To approve of war, perpetuated As still more terror is created By the mindless methods used. They could not see through his deception; Break free to form a fresh conception And turn him down through the election. The chance was lost, abused. For months we prayed and hoped profoundly, The Americans would vote more soundly. On our knees we begged them roundly. Alas! It was in vain. But they'll soon too repent, remember, With agony this dark November, When they said go on, divide, dismember Our world through ruthless reign! Infallible, immune from learning From past mistakes, he'll go on turning The globe into an ash heap, burning Till no infidels remain. I fear thee, Mr President! I fear thy heavy hand Will strike again, on havoc bent, Next time a peaceful land. I fear thee, Mr President! I fear thy motivation! Dost thou believe that thou art sent By God to lead thy nation? I fear thee, Mr President, And thy administration! Cheney, Rumsfeld were not meant To reach so high a station. I fear you all, and fear not least The loathsome Wolfowitz, A frightful fiend, half man, half beast, A demon in your midst! The sun appears to be declining, However faint the silver lining Of the storm clouds, it deserves reminding That millions voted Kerry. The arduous trail is upward sloping. In darkness we'll be blindly groping. But next election we'll be hoping For an outcome far more merry.

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. ©
