How To: Create A Monster Poem by Ray Lucero
How To: Create A Monster
How is a monster created?
By forming a theocratic elitist government
By seeking power and control of global neighbors
By stealing oil and natural resources through violence
By establishing military bases around the world
By developing and hoarding nuclear weapons
How is a monster created?
By recruiting soldiers from poverty,
By dehumanizing new recruits
By teaching and condoning torture
By unleashing darkness from soldier psyche
How is a monster created?
By allowing biased corporate media propaganda
By televising violence and sex
By developing violent video games
By feeding empty junk food to our children
By selling cheap firearms
Who then is this “Monster”?
THE MONSTER IS US!
ROTMS
A raw piece that compares contemporary society to monstrous creatures by not metaphorical references but blatant truth. The words blare like a siren of warning upon humanity, a warning that we may reach a point where we cannot go back to a humane (human) state. An interesting read. - K.
Most unfortunate situation in the world! Let us hope good sense will prevail over all and a better society is born in 2008. 'Sabko sanmathi dhe Bhagawan' - Givegood sense to all! My God!
I prefer the Frankenstein approach, with the lightning bolts. Crud. Too late, Bush is alive and we forgot to put a brain in there. -chuck
Totalitiariansm (did I spell that right! ?) closer to it than we think? Moyax
