Stained

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Smudged in black

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Starspangled, stained
tainted and diluted.
Negativity endowed,
essence disputed.

Such sweet torture.
Brains scrambled
shaped with dark nurture.

Tip the scales
towards mythology.
Methodology in puppeteering,
what a racket.
Taste the lies and pass
judgement on a work of fiction.

Who's steering this ship?
