[hometext] => This poem has a hidden meaning. Also, there is some violent imagery in this poem, so beware.
[bodytext] => Humans slide down tubes Grasping for help with nothing to lose Tumbling down head-over-heel For the man with universal appeal Down these old rusty metal chutes Past lines of lines of people in suits The tumbling of bodies causes thumping sounds Through the chutes, roots, dirt, and suits it resounds And these people are well-cushioned for tumbling down All they see are the brutes in the suits 'round and 'round Until at last the arrive at the end A hole in the bottom 'round a bend And they emerge out the bottom in a cavernous chamber Suddenly filled with shock, sorrow, terror and anger As they fall no longer head-over-heel To where cogs turn wheel-over-wheel And grinding gears turn over gears And a screeching fills their ears The man and his suits hold their breath In a factory whose product is death As the bodies thump in tubes no more And from six foot high to the floor It's just a pool of blood and gore [comments] => 3 [counter] => 221 [topic] => 13 [informant] => matariel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
