Marks the origin of a tragedy beating its last.
Indignation mounts on our unchained id
Collective in its thirst to reckon its past.
This blood let man, a prism infrared
Burdened by the weight of his very breath
Who's words in tomes yet to be read
Subliminally demand recompense for his death.
Hung from a structure of Roman design
Marred by spears and splinters and thorns
Spoke to a father more human than divine
To no response, a dialogue forlorn.
Delayed. His revenge enacted vicariously
Filtered through time and the bricks of his tomb
Untold screams resonated merrily
From the walls of gas chambers and poisoned wombs.
Left to our own devices with lies from his legacy
Implanted in our minds, like recipes for war,
And slavery, and Holocaust, and endless lunacy
A darkness swept over like never before.
The enemy of science and logic and reason
The patriarch of ignorance and self denial
He calls for us to commit the greatest treason
Against the very thing that makes us smile. "
This was written by Rich Evans, who is an up and coming poet and philosopher what do you guys think of not just the poem itself but of the message it aims to impart?
