EMPTY OLD MEN
THEY ARE SELF-ABSORBED AND EVIL,
THEY ARE LONELY AND FEEBLE.
ENTHRALLED BY GOLD
THEY ARE WEALTHY AND GREEDY
THEY ARE SOULLESS AND NEEDY
IMMORAL AND DISHONEST
THEY ARE GUILTY OF CORRUPTION
THEY PROFIT FROM DISRUPTION
TAKING FROM OTHERS
THEY ARE OVERLORDERS
THEY ARE SHIFTING BORDERS
PLAYING WITH LIVES
THEY ARE STARTERS OF BATTLE
THEIR SOLDIERS ARE CHATTEL
UNINFORMED
THEY ARE SUSPICIOUS, NARCISSISTIC
THEY ARE UNHINGED AND BALLISTIC
NO MAN IS IMMORTAL
THEY ARE LEAVING A LEGACY
THEY ARE JUSTIFYING HERESY
THE WARNING IS CLEAR
TO ALL WHO ENABLE
HUMANKIND IS UNSTABLE
WHAT OF THE FUTURE
THE EARTH IS ALIVE
IT WILL THRIVE AND SURVIVE
WITH OR WITHOUT US

Powerful and sadly true. I like how you used the block letters and it really built with each line. The short lines were very effective.
ReplyDeleteAs Nancy said, very powerful. A shared sentiment.
