Let's burn the bodies of the young,
And beautiful.
Collect them all into a pile,
To drown in acid tears,
And bitter hatred of the self.
Let's bury them by the sidewalks,
Where we face our daily battles,
To the war their beauty is a weapon of,
And defence our insecurities bide us.
Let's smash and break the armor,
Of the cars and vehicles which congest our air;
Of the perfect specimen of science,
To which our drunken ignorance blindly drives along.
Let's throw matches in the petrol tank,
And watch the lack of free will go up in flames;
Destroy fundamental retardedness,
Of the people who have forgotten how to walk.
Let's put taxes on street corners,
And place a toll on our back alleys,
So the whores and the junkies can continue their employment,
When servicing our police and politians.
Let's replace prisons with government;
For they enter our homes,
And put prices on our living anyway.
They rape us of our power,
And abuse the children that become the future;
Then they deal us the drugs and alcohol,
To destroy the brain's acknowledgement to the deceit,
And weaken our resistance.
Let's build bridges over water,
To only burn them when we cross them;
So then we have nothing to go back to,
And not even our naivety can tell us otherwise.
Let's create a religion,
Where nobody dies.
Instead of pursuiting our nirvana,
We create a land where we're all equal states of mind,
And we celebrate the way we live,
So not to condemn it.
Let's not have a ruler;
A leader,
To worship,
Or to obey.
Instead, work together to exhibition our thoughts,
And ideals for prosperity.
Let's strip man of his suit;
Of his power,
And leave him naked to manipulation,
Of corporate demon's.
Let's graffiti the signs and logo's,
Of emblems of embelishment,
And stand proudly on the soapbox,
Screaming:
"Let's!"

we can make this posible when the elections come in 2004. we can prevent Bush and his war-mongers from hijacking this country and trying to take over the world. Iraq has been taken, and afghanistan and columbia. syria is next...if we don't keep protesting and working for this common cause.
good work...Tif

I like it it has so much anger and frustration in their, the final 3 lines really say a lot too, though that could just be my frustration with people that protest in gnorance (don't get me wrong many have a valid point, but when someone is screaming slogans and is confronted and can't explain their motives.... u know just being part of a crowd it really
great poem for a new beginning
id agree that this is your best as of late
its very motivated and emotional while being detached
it states your frame of mind so clearly
length is just right
wording is near perfect
anarchy is a wonderful thing
not much i can criticise about it
beautiful poem
however
the one thing that sort of strikes me in this is that
it somehow sounds slightly fake
but it might just be the detachment and its just my opinion
because it doesn't feel as strong as it could be
but thats the only thing i could pick up on
very minor and i almost overlooked it if i didnt read it a few times
overall one of the best ive seen from you
more experiences = more variety of poems
im getting there.. slowly hehe
keep it up!
