rise of the beetle

Eyes glazed over
as the beetle sings
mantle pieces,
designed for masters.

Faster goes the beetle
of refuge and solace,
embrace the future
of the feeble, humble, beetle.

Greeting fleeting guests
with songs of mantle pieces,
masters need faster beetles

meeting more meat marketers.

 

Freak marketing is in

says the beetle, its vital that,

mind numbing madness,

is advertised as the new beetle.

 

Long term beetle trends

dictate future prosperity;

no beetle will go hungry,

every beetle will have a home.

 

Holding gifted givings, moving

rich beetle kind to share refuge.

Beetle king wants to sing not

for masters, but beetle kind.

 

Beetle kingdom needs freedom,

to rejoice for their being.

    This is quite imaginative and playful - I especially appreciate the sense of whimsy. Yet, below this wonderful facade of fancy, this piece speaks to politics and social problems we, as a society, have faced for all ages. The sound within this is fantastic -- I especially loved the flow of:
    "Greeting fleeting guests
    with songs of mantle pieces"
    My only issue with this piece is that I think your images gets a bit lost within your message. Perhaps a bit more lucid writing would alleviate this. Overall, fantastic. Thank you so much for entering - great job!
