Holocaust
patriotic fools
live
as blind men
speaking
“honest” lies
recycling wars
within
their wrestling conscience
dwelling
in a suicidal dream
seeking
for a black sun
surrounded
with invisible flames
flooded
with ashes of forsaken souls
a battle
that ends in stalemate
nothing
but pure massacre survives
everything
is lost in their crippled hearts
nothing
can be done
suicidal homicide embodies the mind
creating a holocaust
within
time is the only cure
a cry for freedom
but no one
hears a sound
the heart
is shattered
it rest in pieces
amongst the earth
the rage swells
explodes
until an untimely
death
lays them to sleep
in their own
carnage

Wonderfully written poem. You certainly are a gifted poet. And, for what it is worth, I agree with you entirely. In fact, I would go further and say that the U.S. is an imperialistic country. Just note the hundreds of bases (army, marine, etc.) we have all over the world. That may not be colinization (perhaps) but this certainly is our way of being imperialistic, to control, to have power, to manipulate, to dominate, etc. Your grand poem brought out these kinds of sentiments in me. Thank you.

Re: Holocaust
"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"
Bullshit!
It seems that those who know history repeat
it even more viciously.
I connect with this R-O.
One thing I find a little paradoxical is:
"until an untimely
death
lays them to sleep
in their own
carnage"
If you are talking bout the big-shots,the decision makers no death can be untimely ---
but peeps like us rarely are cold enough when death is concerned. Either that , or we value life so much it would cause us dissonance to slight it , even under these extreme circumstances.
If you are talking about the grunts, the order-followers --
well yeah -- most of them deserve to be cut a little slack.
Thank You for the great work,
alon
