Terence George Craddock Poems

committed...

great poets die
in pitiless gutter
...

the prophets spoke the word
the word was spoken blessed
the word was all life is blessed
the word was peace is blessed
...

save poor sacred souls
poor white poor black balloted
into wars steel teeth injustice
profit oiled cruelty evil greed
...

politicians palms crossed with silver gold
oiled palms vote to protect ideal democracy
to fight new age slogan wars on terrorism
but stop think war is evil war is terrorism
...

now the question will
you support evil wars
oiled rhetoric justified
or will you support sacred
...

remember to step
twice your age
when empowered
...

become clinical
detach from pain
taught lessons
...

mind comparing sequencing
through thoughts with speed
elegance know aflame creativity
...
