Deliverance

By Crush_With_Eyeliner

How the mighty
have finally fallen.
No news today,
deprived of all
but one
thought
which rules
handily over
all.

We seek shelter
from the throes
of this carnage;
this wreck we deliver.

No news today
of any kind,
of any simple truth.
Elegant kings and
queens
raise their guns,
sound the alarms,
prepare to
deliver us.

Deliver us.

    "How the mighty have finally fallen." That line makes me think instantly of the recent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt..And the rest of the poem made me think of state TVs reaction to such events...Very thought-provoking piece.
