There is one law in this land
But it can be destroyed easily like a castle in sand
Just one man it takes
And a whole new world awaits
You know what I'm talking about, right?
The totalitarian government's leader was in sniper's sight
A small group of resistance was against this man
If the sniper missed, they would have all ran
The one law was no harsh words of the leader
But the resistance would rather drink rotten apple cider
As the sniper was ready for the shot
He froze like a diffused robot
What had happened? What will he do?
But the smart dictator already knew he would die, too
When the sniper blew out the leader's educated brains
Blood spouted out of the sniper's chest in a bloody rain
Perspective: A group overthrowing totalitarian government
My dear, don't tell us. Show us in your poem. You have that talent already. But I would urge you to write the flip side of this poem. Email me when you have it. I would like to compare the two. Val

You asked me about the flip side of this poem, but I am also looking at the rest. For this poem and the others, what if your ending was more positive...working BACKWARD from that idea, how would you write the poem differently. Try it. Val
