Message to one whose purpose is to smother
answer to none is the idea of the other;
events that occur in worlds flagrantly depossessed
reoccur as certain elements are commanded to repress.

The earth trembles when faults see slides
when social movements think issues can hide;
the crust heaves up on one side of the fault
farmers vainly search for destroyers of their malt.

Farm pests multiply and poisins are applied
pigs wallow fervently in their makeshift sties;
events bear down on the less favoured groups
terrain is set for upheaval from the roots.

In answer to some who seek to repress by force
hold others at ransom, cut from their source;
tables will turn, farm supplies will wane
people have always moved to cities for gains.

do we dare cross
that line between your
heart and mine~

Your poem tells the truth.
"The earth trembles when faults see slides
when social movements think issues can hide;
the crust heaves up on one side of the fault
farmers vainly search for destroyers of their malt."

Thanks Lauren again for your kind thoughts.I admit I softened the ending a bit to go with the wide public you have.
