Response of an Oppressed Nation

Contributed by anoreo on Tuesday, 19th August 2008 @ 03:12:01 PM in AEST
Topic: political

Dear right wing leader,
Do you really think for yourself?
Do you believe all you stand for,
With O’Reilly on your shelf?
Bombs and guns and money,
Seem to be all you preach.
But health care and education,
Are really what we need.
Send someone back to the stone-age?
Is that what we’re here to do?
Our future needs competent kids,
And living people too.
Money is the biggest problem,
You can’t seem to get enough.
Piles of cars and houses,
And other similar stuff.
But priority wise,
You come first,
And needy people second.
After all, you’re a one man army,
A force that can’t be reckoned [with].
But we are where the power lies,
The people who line your pockets,
So when we’ve decided we’ve had enough,
We’ll knock your eyes out of their sockets.

wow...wonderful write. indeed, i never really trusted politics/ government, and they always say things that they'll do but i never see improvements that much as they proclaim. government never does know what we really need/want. i like the 'power to the people' attitude u giv at the end. take care

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. Â©
