Glory of a Nation

Post by Gandalf »

The army marches in formation
Stepping in rank and file
Marching for the glory of our nation
Stepping rank and vile

The commanders look and inspect
The drones look up and salute
Giving their structured respect
Only their conciousnesses pollute

The politicians look down
Upon the regime's new pride
The politicians never frown
War is their new bride

The citizens look
At the glory of the state
Their innocence they took
Sent to a darkened fate
Questions, comments?
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Poetical political commentary, that's nice. Though maybe you could do that freelance/freeverse/whatever you call it and try writing longer lines with lesser rhymes and all, since, to me, it sounds kinda haikuey.

Shroom, I read out the stuff you write about us. You are an endless supply of morale down here. :p - an OWS street medic

I've tried free-verse. I find it very awkward.

*shrugs*

Anyway, it's nice to see politiks being the subject of poetry, and not angsty goth stuff.
