i posted this on time through my iphone and i realized it came out in a weird format... so im reposting it. once again i submitted it on time so im only reposting so it can look proper.
This is a poem dedicated to the oppressed,
A poem that recognizes the countries in distress.
First up we have Egypt with the Mubarak situation,
A country that rose up as a single united nation.
A revolution that began on a social networking site,
Was turned into a global sensation overnight.
After a long hard battle the people finally won,
Bye bye Mubarak, you dictating scum.
You thought Egypt was bad wait till u hear About Palestine,
A nation being overruled by bullets and mines.
The people are separated, murdered and beaten,
Even forced to turn over the food they have not yet eaten.
We move on to Syria, whose government is far too corrupt,
A tension built in the people that will very soon erupt.
Hopefully their president is taken away for good,
An evil man he is, deserving of the foot.
Our hearts feel for the oppressed, as they are fellow human beings.
Empathy we should show, through out hearts and through our dreams.
I'd like to finish with a question that you should think about In your coming years,
What can you do to stop the bloodshed as well as the tears?
I like the diction used in this poem because though it is more modern than the classic poetry language, it represents the modernity of the problems these Middle Eastern societies are facing today. The words used such as 'oppressed', 'corrupt', and the phrase 'deserving of the foot' show the deep resentment of the people towards their respective governments. The last couplet of the poem was very strong and concluded your message clearly. It would make even the most blasé about politics want to help out with these issues. Great job!
