GLOBAL ARENA Welcome to arena, there's only one rule You've got to be best, if you want to be cool Sure, you still can play nice, but be alarmed That will leave you completely unarmed We will work seven days a weak You'll never beat us, for we are unique We will work fourteen hours a day Just to make sure no one gets in our way Let's burn all oil It's self-destruction Let's chop down all forests It's self-destruction Let's poison the ocean It's self-destruction The new world order is under construction Mindless, blind and cruel machine Mindless, blind and cruel machine Made for fight for global supremacy What have we done to our society? No time to make love, no time to raise kids We're making investments and placing our bids No time to make friends and no time for rest We all gonna die, if we won't be the best We will strike the world like barbarian hordes We'll use our weapons rather than words And we don't care what we will leave after us No one gonna stop us, enough with the fuss Let's kill all animals It's self-destruction Let's melt down all ice It's self-destruction Let's start a new war It's self-destruction The new world order is under construction We will fight To show the world that we're right That's what we will do To show that we're better than you |

Well this really struck me as song lyrics rather than a poem and to be honest I think what you're doing here is following the political line that has been absolutely done to death. Many people have done this before and I'm afraid to say that many of them have done it better. To me the rhyme seemed too forced to be part of a flow that one would attricute to poetry. Still, even Ted Hughes had off days... |

Actually that was a song lyrics. gpc: you said I'm following a political line. I don't think so, in my opinion I was following two political lines, leaving the reader the right to choose one (or both). |
