Propaganda


I have been in strong opposition
for the better part of it
without the thoughtful backing
of your carefully focused foresight

time to take another look
I say only now again
that I have been exposed
to the lingering effects

my own ambitious obligations
to the perfect possibilities

and run on sentences will fill your head
all the lies and little messages
promises of peace
promises of post hypnotic reform
run on sentences will fill your head
all the lies and little messages

Seeing now the reason
forgetting all I'd learned
leapt into the fire
and oh the flame it yearned

to touch my pale skin
to taste me once again
consuming and destoying
blackened cold and dead

my own ambitious obligations
to the perfect possibilites

and run on sentences will fill your head
all the lies and little messages
promises of peace
promises of post hypnotic reform
run on sentences will fill your head
all the lies and little messages

    Things would be a lot different in the world today if Americans still knew how to read. Unfortunately, the great unwashed masses have given up reading and only get their information from TV. No wonder Bush won the election.

    If only everyone had the depth and intelligence to see beyond the propaganda fed to them via the western media - it might be a safer place to live.

    Fantastic write that says 'everything' in a very minimal way.

    Look forward to reading more of you.

    I really swear, do you know me somehow? Cause that poem seems to match me perfectly. Mind you, my pc took like an hour loading it so I was thinking to myself "it better be good after all that" but I read it and its more then good. Its awesome! Seriously, you must write more. I love this poem and if the rest of your poems are like (style wise) this I will deffintely want to read them.

    You've written a great poem here

    If I didn't know better I'd swear you were talking about me lol. Interesting poem though but, in all honest there is a great of propaganda involved in the expression of anyones' opinions. Even though it shouldn't stop one from enjoying a tale or two. Please critic a poem.
