Die Nacht der langen Messer (Night of the Long Knives)

Long knives
            Reach deep in the night
Mass revolution ends with
Bloody purge
Blades of mistrust
Deceit and paranoia
    Blood r
               u
                 n
                    s so freely
Loyalty is bought
On the blades of mistrust
    Legal procedings of
Puppets on strings.

The silence is more beautiful than you will ever know
Don't touch anything, Don't let this moment go -Seafood

This is so interesting.
How you set it up was kicking!
I like the message, the imagery,
and all around the poem.
It makes you think and we
all know I love those!

one was removed for every tear
he caused, I'd be emptyhanded.

Wow, very nice analogy, Zu.  When I saw the title, I was afraid this was another poem in a language I don't understand.  I think you just like tricking me

As usual, your format intrigued me.  I love the creative formats like this, it really puts spice into the poem, and adds a kick that wouldn't have been there before.  I enjoyed this, as always, and I look forward to reading more

YAY ZU!!! ^_^
I really like the way you formatted "runs". That was neat. ^_^
It added more than just words to the poem. Great stuff!

About the title? lol. well, I liked how you wrote this...The format added more to which;

To me were quite RAW imagery...caught my attention was the verse,

"Puppets on strings." ...makes me think of some things. Anyways...well done, AndZu. ^_^
