Buddha burned in a holocaust
against the "negros"
as you call them
Little child hangs
watching the horizon tilt
and people parade a fascist confederacy
like HIV is another campaign slogan
for killing off the poor
and writing prayers
in wishing wells
This child sees the world
burn

A dark and intriguing social commentary. The thought of a hanging child is especially gruesome. Best wishes.

The fact that you have brought religion in here, politics and all the degredation of a world's worst dream has made it an exceptionally powerful write, but I'm afraid I'm not quite sure how the image would fit in with this write
lol! I guess that's what's called 'poetic licence' right?
thank you for your entry

Hmmm
The image looks like a corpse or something hanging from a tree.

all i can say about this honestly is wow. i think it was a little over my head with its specific meaning but i get the gist and i can feel the emotion in it. we don't all understand all poetry but this is one that still reaches out with its power and energy to me.
