'Where The System Failed' Poem by Poetical Analysis

'Where The System Failed'



Shhh. Speak at a whimper lest ye be heard
We are dealing out the most ridiculously absurd
Remember the goal of all the little Neros
Through the history written by those who hung our heroes
Then hid the pen in their shallow graves
Finding shelter in another Plato's Cave
Don't look at me do these fascinating thing
And together we will protect the system's failings

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Having heard an O.C. sheriff explain how FOP members have no responsibility in the escape of three prisoners, she emphasized, rather than any personal responsibility (arguably a type of heroism) , the problem was the system which FOP members have no control or influence over. She also noted this proved FOP of O.C. needed more public funding to combat this all powerful, fatally flawed 'system'.

So powerful, so real so loud! Nice poem with beautiful metaphors and indeed the dystopia described through your poem is so very real.
