speaking the language

[saw]

can't always pen those
upbeat rhythms
sometimes a writer likes
to get down and dirty

like a bluesman
telling his truth in a gravel voice
altered by an austere biography
from the other side of the tracks

it's us and them !
ahh, the romance
you gotta love
the simplicity

the vietnamese know
what terrorists look like
so do the elders
in nagasaki

but these didn't match
any of the neo-definitions
man, who should have the authority
to decide all this

what nation, group, sect
organization has the final say
to send out the all-points bulletins
to nail up the wanted posters

on every protruding telephone pole,
shit, industrial slaughter alone
is so sophisticated it puts a three piece suit
on barbarism

makes the psychopath
not seem like such a bad guy
the language of war
is the king's english

Why is it I love everything you write? Is it because you have my voice..? The words, the expressions I cannot find..I wonder...for things that cloud my mind. What robs my slumber, at the ceiling all nite I stare. Thoughts I cannot bring myself to share. I secretly have a crush on your mind.

Strong poem & theme and done well.
