    Yes, you're right, rouskin. A little beast lurks inside of each & every one of us, I think, whether we'd like to believe so or not.

    Thanks for your kind comments and review.

I just love the title to this one, Dean,

As always, your pictapoems are to Die for. This one has a grim message that can be applied the world over. Sinister forces lurk in the sidelines, pushing us towards fulfilling hollow dreams, slaves to their way of thinking so they can acgieve global domination.

Nothing to forgive, Dean and I wouldn't even mention it, were I you. This is well written and much can be extracted from its meaning. You have the gift and the knack for creating interesting writes, Dean. Wish I had six for you. Bob

This was a very thought provoking poem. The first stanza opens this poem very strong. Lines like, "yearning malice, it only needs a seed" should make all of us look at ourselves. Very vivid images. Nicely written.

A good poem perfectly displayed, which is what I always expect from you. I found your first stanza a bit strong and I did not agree with you - but I have to say it is well written. I did agree with your third stanza and it is written in a more realistic way, particularly your last line in this stanza - 'lusts for power will never be sated'. A good read. Regards Dorothy

When the country leaders forsake God's leadership, our country has steadily fallen. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

So many of us agree with what you have said so eloquently in this poem. I do believe we may be headed for a civil war. Americans want to be Americans, and the country has definitely taken a wrong turn somewhere along the line. Thanks so much for sharing. Big thumbs up!
