[bodytext] => Perhaps it IS too early yet For the American people to see it That mere bull-headedness Will merely bring more bull**** Prefering a fantasy of security To a true reckoning of things Prefering the semblance of strength To what intelligence brings Perhaps it IS only fit That the sower reaps his bitter fruits If only it was just he to suffer As he rots our roots It seems America wants to cower Behind this comforting dream Of a fantasy of strength Of a dream of success Of a delusion of safety Of an illusion of strategy Perhaps it IS too much to ask To see through the pretence To look BEHIND the lies To recognise incompetence Preferring the illusion of control To the recognition of needs Preferring to stand alone Than to sow true seeds The world wants John Kerry and strength And wants it so badly But America may well choose Bush And weakness, sadly Bull-headed in the world chinashop Bush wins few friends Dim-witted and shallow Blind to all trends The unwitting sheep group Behind this shepherd liar Closing their eyes to the truth Amid a rising fire Perhaps it IS too much to hope for For them to TRULY look and see At how this man and his mob Can NEVER set them free Headed straight for disaster Over the nearing cliff-edge Following the braindead Bullheaded is not courage Perhaps it IS right and proper That he gets his just desserts Over the economy, Iraq, the environment In a leadership of perverts And HOW MUCH MORE damage can he do? His plan is in ruins And the neocon crew We see the results Of their theories in action Only death and destruction No just satisfaction Mess after mess. Death after death. Growing terror and no redress Only ever more recruits to a hopeless violence On both sides they now grow Recruits day after day Minds full of hatred That ever hold sway Hate follows hate. War follows war. As the makers of peace Fall dead to the floor What looms now is a fascism Before our eyes it is born Polarizing the right Reacting with scorn Each new hate crime Making them strong Creating more hate Wrong built upon wrong So forward we go To a future ugly and black Built on shallow minds All intelligence lack Simplistic sound bytes made to manipulate Sneering. Ugly. So degenerate. Only one goal And that is to win No sleaze forbidden Or bias... Or sin... Perhaps it IS understandable That America hides its head Seeing propaganda as truth The sound byte braindead No lesson learnt Just more of the same As we descend even further in levels of shame Choosing Bush for four more years Willingly hypnotised As he manipulates our fears ALL is despised All the while he keeps giving the pretence of strength As the shadows grow longer and longer in length Ever more phony prophesies As darkness descends And he 'leads' you forward To a war that NEVER ENDS [comments] => 2 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 41 [informant] => steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

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. ©
