Good use of the abab rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good rhythm and flow. Good alliteration with which/wants...soil's/soil...thinnest/thread...consummate/chaos...embracing/each...forth/from...wickedness/which. Good complimentary photo followed by a thought provoking message.

Very impressive picture that complements your rhyming poem extremely well. I did not realise till your foot note that it was about politics and not just normal monsters.

Once again a very well written and presented poem.
Forgiveness is not necessary for in a democratic society we all have the right to voice our opinions on topics we are passionate about.
You have done just that and very well too.

A very true and much needed rant. If only more people would look around and really think about what they are undoing. Our founders knew evil lay in hearts of every man, which why they first divided government and the placed limits on it.

What's to forgive? Ah, your pessimistic outlook. Unfortunately, this rings true. There's not many out there who remain uncorrupted when song lyrics and movies encourage hedonistic behavior. A fine ending on this--the answer to avoid the demon.

    Hah, me...pessimistic? Perish the thought... I don't mean to be, really, I don't. But, just as you stated, everything around us encourages hedonistic behavior, and most of it is geared towards our youth. Get 'em while their young and tender.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me on this, Shari. I appreciate that.

LIked the realness of this. I always thought that politeness and politically correctness were confused. To be correct politically, you refuse to speak the truth. The politeness is okay. There seems to be no humor in being politically correct. Great scariness to this.

Brother Dean,
As I read this poem I thought you had the old sinful man in mind, but when I read your explanation I can see the political correctness and phony two faced morality as you described it.

The blessing of the Lord be upon you this week end. -Jerry
