Odd, I know--- [bodytext] => Save your bullets and your daggers for the encore
Someone might be worth the hate
Of a dead audience, drunk with power
Despising and dying out of time

In this wake, we don稚 praise
We shot to kill and we do it well
Always another day, another way
For how long can you breathe

Charades. Masks. A dead mans past
Wrapped in cold money and sold as the truth
I知 sorry, but what are we worth anymore
When we all have a price
That痴 been spilt on the floor

What makes you think that someone will care?

Brace yourself for the interval; these people wont last the second act
Keep that a secret; it痴 my little surprise
I知 going to prove this life has meaning
When I知 finished, you値l wish you were there
I知 a legend in my own right
Just for this act, just for this night

If I go down, I値l go down in flames
With a style and conviction that you壇 kill to crave

I知 murdering greed with an explosion
Made of truth, and used by the honest
You値l never turn your back again
To wonder whose hand held the knife [comments] => 4 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 64 [informant] => Iwan [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 2 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ambiguous )

Although I feel that the title may throw one off,it's well written,and expresses my thoughts over world politics,and I could actually feel the opera setting. Thanks.

I was confused why the poem was called The Plight of the Falling whever its was those who are greedy falling or those who hate greed falling. It does sound like it came out an My Chemical Romance song but apart from that i think its quite good poem.
