Notes About The Poem

 

wrecks

I just watched the olympic opening ceremony
from Paris.
It was sad to see how the stadium booed
the American team and vice President.
 
(NBC muted that for you sensitive Americans).
 
Let’s wax poetic - wax on..
 
They celebrate our country's wreck,
the beggary of brats who delight 
in the cheap satisfaction of ignorance
and take their oath to the corrupt king
 
despite the felon’s many malicious
practises against the state
 
oppression feeds upon such souls
 
They delight in his
blunt and graceless style
and churlish superscriptions
that alter every hallowed surface
 
What fool forsakes friendship, 
respect and alliances for enmity?
 
They could not be the base slaves of
a meaner party - for is there a serpent 
with less good will?
 
wax off..
.

A song for this:
Auld Lang Syne by Susan Boyle

WHOA! That’s a piece! / I felt sorry for the athletes. Not at all for Vance. / Had to look up amities. Turns out it’s French. / <3

The word I meant to use is 'enmity' - now my english is suffering! Argh! =]
