the poem

The Poem (Fairytale)

Saddam Hussein read a poem on
the Internet, which shook his soul
so much that he came clean about
his WMD. Sent the poem to
G.W. Bush who pulled back his
troops spoke the language of peace
and became a good Christian.

Sharon and Arafat read it too,
the old men met shook hands,
created a Palestinian state and
retired to a park in Jerusalem
were they drink aromatic tea and
play chess.

Bin Laden, who had been hiding in
Geneva translating English poems
into Arabic, read the poem too,
disbanded his gang and to atone
for his sins went to work amongst
the poor in Calcutta.

Every evening those men look up
and know the poet was right: that
the moon is but a pat of low fat
butter and that stars are but sugar
free sweets that won’t make you fat.

this was such a sweet poem, it really did remind me of a child's fairytale, so full of hope which only a young child could summon. it makes everything seem so simple and easy - if only these leaders who we have somehow managed to let into such positions of power could read it, then maybe they would see how easy it is to restore peace, like we normal people can see, but can only dream of. well done, fab write. xxx

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©
