Burn

Hello everyone. I hope you all enjoyed yesterdays addition to the blog. Today I want to share the below poem, Burn. It has a more political note than I usually keep in my poetry, but I felt that it went with the new rhyme scheme I'm trying out. I hope you enjoy and come back for more!
- James O. Cannon


Burn
Burn the world with your scornful eyes
Kill the people with your blatant lies
Starve the hungry with your budget size
Dehydrate the thirsty with your unholy ties.
Corporate murder under government eyes
Covering it all up with expensive, intricate lies.
Keeping the people in check with our militant size,
Silencing the quiet with your dark, faceless ties.
The poor prophets gone missing under assassin eyes,
Covered up with emptied medicine bottles and media lies,
All put together with your criminal networks size
and sealed for ever with your selfish, loveless ties.
