Seek

Seek

A Poem by Z

Capitalist w****s seek invitations
To work wall street without regulations
To profit from murders commited in unknown lands
To exploit the darkness found in sand
To reward robber barrons for financing the dead
To reward the red-eyed foxes when they tell the ignorant it's all in our head

Fair eyed maidens with unfair minds seek attention
To accuse fair minded boys with unfair hearts of flirtation
To convince caretakers to program their children with magazines
To sacrafice empty bodies for weekely themes
To avoid fair packing men with unfair ideas
To escape independence and embrace conformity

Media b******s seek abnormal distractions
To bring weak minds to well known distortions
To advertise false hope to hopeless masses
To hide the dealings of our national facists
To endorse politicians that lead with nothing but fear
To convince the prohets of intelligence to dissapear


Blood soaked Christians seek to monopolize creation
To preach peace while burning peaceful institution
To appoint leaders that will sacrafice the innocent for the oil soaked holy war
To speak of free thinkers as if they are earths ugly scar
To oppress righteous minorites and openly discriminate
To speak only of love while acting only in hate

Wonderful social statement here. It really lands a series of jabs and ends with a knockout. I love political poetry, but there isn't much of it around anymore. I'm glad to see you're bringing it back!

YAY!! SMASH THE STATE! F**K YEAH!

great parallelism! And I love the line "To speak only of love while acting only in hate" the imagery and the metaphors are great. The rhyme was very subtle and fantastic.
"weekely" should be "weekly" though and I felt it could flow better.
