Cadence of the Marching Fools

Cadence of the Marching Fools

A Poem by emerald.
"

Description: There is none.

"

 

 

 

They’ve reached their destination,
In the worlds of their imagination,
They’re crawling and renouncing their position,
Giving the tyrants the key of Infiltration.
 
They have reached the end,
A fork in the road and ready to turn at the bend.
Yet in the nature of their revolution,
They’re giving up the conclusion before they find the solution.

The Dead tormented,
The Sick demented,
Lives fermenting,
Bathing in deception.
 
Cowards, heroes are one in the same,
Martyrs taken, their faces plastered in the hall of shame.
Fighting a war for the mistakes of the ones who rule,
The cadence beating with the hymn of the heels of marching fools.
Downing the innocence with a bottle of wine,
The good men die and the rich men dine.

Beaten, broken, and rarely spoken.
Both are really useful,
In the land of the rueful,
They take down the ruler.
 
Bodies rise and tears fall.
Never shall they lose it all.
The damned, the wicked, and the oh-so innocent,
Suppressed by the mercenaries law,
They’ll rise up and take it all.

Wow! a lot of images and ideas packed into this well crafted piece of poetry. I could tie the theme of this into many things, both historically as well as in modern times. The most prominant thing that comes to mind, is based of the last stanza, it screams of true Socialism; Where the base born raise up to overthrough the dictator. I see glimpses of our current political gambit, in how people might wish the current president to be taken down.
I really like the forth stanza. It speaks of how in war, everyone is equal in the fact that they all may die at the whims of their ignorant leaders.

The first three stanza's speak of a rebellion that was waged out of want and governed by pride and arogance. When people act without thinking; No one ever wins.

I really like this piece. It was well writen and contained many deep thoughts, that people should ponder.

Great Write!
