Choose Your Weapon [Art 3]

Contributed by ScaramangaSilk on Wednesday, 15th July 2009 @ 04:53:39 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



If you are no soldier, then this is no war
Battles surround us, victory is to be achieved
A parable can solve where a gun cannot
Leave your knife on the table - you need to dine

Rise to the challenge, the reward will fulfil
Question authority - and obey the person who told you to do so
Skill, talent, graft will take you to the winning line
Take a journey, you will be pilot and passenger

Blame the parents, blame the teachers
Blame the government, blame society
Blame hip hop, blame the television set
Blame computer games, blame the media
Blame blame blame......

The end of a pointed finger shows no resolution

The golden ticket is within
Compete on your grounds, stay above
Only one weapon conquers all
The tool of a fool disappoints

Go forth, Choose Your Weapon.....

Lots of thought provoking metaphors in here.
Loved the opening line
"If you are no soldier, then this is no war"
Welcome to the club

Very profound!

While I like every single line this would have to be my favorite:

The end of a pointed finger shows no resolution
