Steel Political Gods

Contributed by matariel on Friday, 24th April 2009 @ 07:58:11 PM in AEST
Topic: political

The crushing machination wheels on
Rusted steel projections riding over the dawn
And nearby many crosses in lines on a lawn
They think the majority backing makes it right
They think only of murderous power and might
The gigantic steel murder-machine with a screech and a bite
Wheeling over the bloodied bodies of embryos, infants and men
The monster, fattened up by money, gore, and more killing again
The wraith-like metal monstrosity's blades swinging in cosmic rhythm
Immorality and brutality, like a phantasmagoria spawned of the Lilim
Out of the ancient chaos and cacophony of the political sea
With your elitism, your rags-to-riches story, and your pedigree
You arose like a revivified god from a tomb
With a happy face you wield your violence and doom
And you drive that Leviathan of steel
At every junction causing woe and weal
Pain and suffering for the sick and the poor
The cries of the hungry and needy wanting more
As you pretend to be on their side
But you'd never sink so low to with them abide
And the embryonic humans and children's silent cry
No, you don't want to hear it; you want them to die
And you decry the dreadful operations of the warring one
Yet you'd rather not God's will, but yours be done
So as the time passes, with more blood, pain, and gore
The driver and the automaton become one, more and more
I would like for you to be a hero, but I can't say I wish you well
For your sins, for your transgressions, you'll forever burn in Hell

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. ©
