Is this freedom?

Is this freedom?

Vanquish the valiant,

Bludgeon those brave

Promotion of predators

Leave no-one to save.

Swipe at the saviors

Tarnish those true

Advocate aggressors

Who haven't a clue.

Corrode the caring

Beat those benevolent

Suger coat sinners

Mostly, they're prevalent

Detest the devoted

Frogmarch those free

Embrace the Evil

We’re blind can't you see?

Magnificent!

The short lines punch each new image into the reader's mind. There's balled-up, burgeoning passion and anger in this one...it has teeth and isn't afraid to use them.

You're really coming into your own as a poet, Lorna; finding a strong clear voice which has a lot to say. It's wonderful to watch, it really is!!

Each line has power and thrust moving the poem forward smoothly to a rewarding thoughtful concluding reflection.

Very concise write of clarity.
