The Wave / Die Welle Poem by Mark Holian

An americanised cast, subtitled german
The teacher living independant
influencial and charismatic
happy content
knowing the outcome
comfortable living and sharing his pleasure
he goes to lesson, picking a subject
it isn't his choice
but that he runs with.
taking it seriously for the sake of himself
he uses confusion to conquer
the influence spreads
but to all but one
encouragment seen, improvment done
she's compliant for now
+++++++
Unification
but still one is seperate
she see's the outcome most unpleasant
she seedily acts upon her instinct
to balance the situation in her favour
as once she complied, she felt the feeling
of the wave
but she forsaw it was due to crash
as cause and effect awarness felt, the want for inclusion made to the public
causing an unsurstanable identity
that was ready for conflict, but once it came misunderstood
as it was just a reinactment
it was all to late the shock on his face as is the person in charge of the facad'e
his life and others affected
came crashing down
on the most influenced he shared his crown
++++++
Know knowingly on his way
he thinks of the actions
causing him dismay
he smiles inside as he knew the truth
all he wanted to do was show
so the smile brings onto his face to hide the emotion
while everyone lives within the commotion
all but the one now feel the same
its reverse discression the name of the game
Fin
.....
and yes, as you all know now, he will live within his own shame.
