Poem Commentary

I wrote this right after "Mission Accomplished" was declared by George W. Bush and we still did not end the war in Iraq. Let me insist that this has nothing to do with our brave soldiers that risk their lives everyday to keep us safe, but this does have everything to do with our most recent ex-presidents poor decision.

Steel Grave

Steel Grave

 

Steel

A generally hard, strong, durable, malleable alloy of iron and carbon

Steal

To take the property of another with out right or permission

 

Lies hidden beneath the eyes of a leader

Supported by the fears of a nation

Stopped! He would be

If not for his vindication

 

A tribe of spiders

Weaving their web

Are in too deep now

Way over their head

 

Using STEEL to break their…enemy?

Leaving bodies caked and cold

For Justice?

No…for black gold

 

we take from these people

You can say we STEAL

Their lives, their homes, their families

And what do we feel?

 

GREED

Nothing but greed

We’re close to our goal now

As our opponents bleed

 

And who do we blame?

Who is washing the blood off their hands?

Whose killing masses?

While digging holes in the sand?

 

Not the strong soldiers

Who should be treated like kings

We blame the puppet masters

Holding taught strings

 

As we enter the last round

The feeling is GRAVE

But we can stand strong as a people

With faces so brave

 

We’ll stop this mahem

Before another one dies

And a GRAVE is dug

Because of somebody’s lies

 

 

Grave

Dignified and somber in manner of character

Grave

An excavation for the interment of a corpse

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
