    Oh you all need it spelled out?

    Yes metaphor is a lost art these days
    to complicated or subtle
    and your lost
    most minds are slag left after smelting
    the pure metal is rare

    see the mainstream
    a torrent of lemmings pursuing
    some failed escapade of nationalistic fury
    or religionistic psychic sadism

    Where is the aliteration?
    where is the metaphor?

    I am a firey tongue
    burning up words
    and revealing obtuse emotion
    blissed elation

    Let these thoughts give you a hair cut
    and show the empty cavern
    where a brain should be...

    Deep, passionate, I loved the metaphor of minds now being slag versus pure metal. Well written.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
