Description:
i don't really think i have to describe what this poem is about, i hope not anyway...
Lice & Mice
Wrapped the knot that time forgets Draped around and through the frets Is tales and lies which men receive Tales meant to trick and drive deceit Through the fabric thick of lice The spice which taints the fickle mice When the lice are spoiled unduly brave They'll trip and fall But few shall cave When seas burn And wind dies We'll all feel sad and cry our eyes If not the pokers of these toils Had been allowed to rape the spoils Which hurt the founder Mother Earth To whom we owe our beds of mirth Her gentle woes of pain and cries Overshadowed by politic's blatant lies Vermine those are Who accept this fate Pleased with spoils which take from their plate Lest ye forget Such things are free Vermine are better than that you see Vermine are better than you and me They live for respect of the Mother Tree Which binds the worlds of the Outerverse: It's roots reach deep within our Earth |

This again is such a dark poem. I really liked this one though. The first I was had way more emotion, yet this one is written perfect for what is it about. You are really a great poet. Seriously think about getting some of your work published, I know I would read it. Good job!| | Posted on 2006-01-11 00:00:00 | by alcoholcaust | [ Reply to This ] | This was very well written and you seem to have a wide scope - I liked this better than the other. | I appreciate poems that make one think and this flowed very, very well lyrically. I like the political and socio musings and comparisions - & the title is right on. Great!

Or people like Tony Blair who are just greedy mindless puppets... who do nothing in the way of change. These people aren't leaders. What leadership have they shown us? They claim it's perfectly fine to kill thousands of innocent people in the name of anti-terrorism, and pretend poisoning the Earth will have no negative effect, acting like it's just a lifeless rock. But they let people like Osama Bin Laden go free, because he was just a tool to gain envy over other leaders and trick the public... they aren't helping anything. As soon as one of them nukes someone, the other one's going to nuke them, and then another is going to retaliate, and our world will be over. | Posted on 2006-01-11 00:00:00 | by mrmundane | [ Reply to This ] | that was a really deep and stirring poem that makes you look at yourself.. by comparing our race with something that we would normally shun and react with in disgust and whowing our imperfections in contrast to theirs is a real eye opener but do i sense a hate for the general sheep of humans? | | Posted on 2006-01-11 00:00:00 | by unnatainable | [ Reply to This ] | |
