The Great wallsA Poem by Kenneth Nicholas Lowe
I saw Nikita Khrushchev, he was gazing at a wall
He stood before his predecessor's greatest feat, barbed wired and tall He asked, if this is where Humpty had his imaginary fall I glared into his confused eyes, No comrade, Not at all Is this supposed to keep the Mongols out, from expansion, pillage and slaughter No comrade, It's not the greatest Chinese blunder Is this to keep the celts at bay, from the rape of Christian Rome No comrade, haven't you read, Hadrian had no Germanic home Is this to keep the Turks confined, to being the lords of only Asia. No comrade, it was in Asia Minor and 4 times thicker Is this to keep, The rebel slaves encircled, for crucifixion along the line No comrade, this is far too high, for any gladiator to climb Is this to keep, the allies at sea and protect the might of the third reich No Comrade, the sea can't be seen, for a hundred bloody miles Well, is it to keep, the US jobs away from new world American slaves No comrade, that was just a fence, here you can't return to jump again It has to be a Jewish plot, to keep rockets from the Valley of Elah No comrade, the Jews have long since left, after a frenzied nazi flotilla Is this to keep, the white walkers out and confined to the lands of perpetual winter No comrade, what are you high on, what ever gave you this wonder? © 2014 Kenneth Nicholas Lowe |
