Notes About The Poem

exaggerated or aggressive patriotism. One who feels his country is better than any other.

Chauvinism

Country of loyalty is supreme, others add up the number
Heaven is here already, the rest still looking for a plumber
All is perfect, in this domain, nothing that bad to remember
Understanding of respect, dwarfs in height like a chewed cucumber
Very cruel is this thin king, with the poison of a black mamba
Invaluable glory of another, fossilized like amber
Neighbouring geographies are not worthy, even when this slumbers
Internationals, not treated worthy for a good December
Spits fire and damages others like the Axe’s blade on a timber
Mother nature is beautiful and everyone is a member

I agree with Andrea- the "chewed cucumber" image stands out , but the entire work is packed with potent imagery- I agree with you- we are all humans, one " kind" - the only quality that should hold sway over us is " brotherly love..." Kindness is King. Respect Rules with Humility. Love is not divisive.

I really liked that chewed cucumber imagery and also the Axe's blade on timber as well as other inventive images you created.
