Dark brooding clouds billow and cascade ashy rain Soundless people crying in inexpressable pain Soulless spiders spin their pointless political plot Deadened to the suffering which they've wrought The Humanity body reacts in distressed shock The tumorous people cheer and mock The cancerous ones spread poison and deceit Hoping to infect, to metastasize and defeat Humanity must rise up and come together Ascending like eagles above the stormy weather Rejecting the infections of prejudice and hate Tolerating differing parts before its too late. Letting foot not reject the very different tongue Denying not horny work hand for straining pink lung Uniting in health, straining toward breath rejecting the hate, lest we all end in death.

Well. Well done! It's always refreshing to read good poetry that *doesn't* sound bourgeious (sp?). Well, maybe not bourgeious. More like poetry that's emotive, rather than wordy.

"Well done, Peredhil... I only wish there weren't an event to link it to. Still, it speaks clearly and has meaningful things to say, I think."

A delicate cut? A Ripper's slash? Consolidate power - We'll need more cash. For every one That's starry-eyed Behind a flag A huskster'll hide. So examine close Jingoistic phrase Don't lose the patient Seeking praise. Some for glory Some for power Some for rage Wear hatred's flower.
