[bodytext] => At The Battle Before If the paparazzi were at the battle before Lord Nelson would never have won his war By public outcry he would be hanged Each error, with evil intent assumed Already having given an eye and a hand To this glorious Isle, this England Would not be enough, for the call for blood to abate From Ambassador, to Traitors Gate For the media just must have its say On everything that happens today Must get it right, just got to win To make any error tis judged a mortal sin We read in the papers, we can take moral high ground We just shouldn’t tolerate, failure around The price of a lost battle is costly with pain And the media will judge and hand out the blame No second chances, even if you’re our best hope Self-righteousness and indignation the emotions, for which we grope No credit given for trying, if you do not succeed Ridicule & ribald are all that you need Great leaders we want, in fact we want Gods But we want them human, which puts us at odds What are the prospects for leaders new? When they see the benefits numbered so few In the form of vocation leadership should take With every intention up for emotional rape A leader must be tough, and of course know the score A loss of a battle, is not the loss of a war.

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. ©
