Perhaps all knowledge,
has been lost.
A fallen victium,
to Pandora's box.
Rewritten,
in ways no one can comprehend.
Yet,
we are all suppose to understand.
Manipulating minds,
with hearts of ice guide us through,
the doorway of the new dawn.
Rest our fate,
upon shoulders that are weak.
Weakened by,
the very soul that they are.
The acid from within,
has made them brittle men.
Something is bound to fail,
as another dream reaches mother earth's soil.
It hits,
with a silent sound.
A sound so silent,
that apparently you are the only one,
who has felt it.
For the hearts of ice,
do not bleed compashion,
they bleed for greed and for well being,
that is all to their own.
The box has just been opened,
so many things have yet to become.

"for the hearts of ice
do not bleed compassion"

I LOVE that part. You've captured this completely. This is the first poem I've read on the election and it's excellent. Really nice job with this.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

The solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?

This is a really good poem, I know next to nothing about the election, or only what I've read in our papers over here. And everyone knows you can't trust those, well almost everyone, there are always some aren't there. But since you've brought it up, can someone explain to me how one state can decide the outcome. I know I'm obviously asking a really stupid question, but I wish someone would explain it to me. I thought the U S A ran a type of proportional representation, of course I'm probably wrong.
So if someone could tell me I'd be grateful.
Graet poem, really well written
Take care
