call out boys and girls
Hear the screams of the condemned
Stop all the music for pain prevails
In this world of eternal evils
as man walks the wretched earth
Trample the beauty down below
kill the beauty in the skies above
all scream at mans machine
kills the world with its great metallic scream

------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Walter, I like this poem very much. One suggestion...use scream less and replace it with something like wail or cry. Just my opinion.

Scream is used to much
I will endeavor not to overuse words like i did here
Always nice to get compliments

Thank You
