Last night I dreamed what I would do
If I stood in your place
If ‘time’ had never happened
Or if ‘time’ could be erased
I dreamed that souls were never lost
Fighting for your cause
In the company of idiots
You sanctioned pointless wars
In the company of idiots
You sought and gained applause
In the company of idiots
You settled some old scores
Last night I dreamed a nightmare
You got inside my head
Addicted to a power lust
That filled us all with dread
I dreamed you pulled the trigger
Blew my brains away
I’m not with you; I’m against you
Will be ‘till Judgment Day
I dreamed that I was digging
For you a grave in which to lie
I dreamed that high above me
Was only clear blue sky
I dreamed that as they lay you to rest
In a pauper’s grave
That no more, to eternity
Would we follow as if slaves
TAKE YOUR PICK AS TO WHICH ONE I AM WRITING ABOUT – BOTH WERE/ARE AS BAD AS EACH OTHER!
- MIKE STEEDEN - 
Very nice. Strong imagery, and I love your subtle use of rhythm in all your poems. You really have a talent for poetry. I’ve said it before, it ain’t easy writing poems that don’t come out trite, sing-songy, and clumsy. You Sir, are a master at it.
Cheers – easy when you’re writing about two complete and utter liars/bastards though!
True. They were that, but I’ll be damned if they both don’t look great in the suits they’re wearing in the pic. Dashingly good looking fellows, eh? For a couple of bastards, I mean.
Love, Love, Love it! (Though I wish you had added a photo of the clown we have now.) 😀
Good poem. Good thinking. Summed up the 2 idiots perfectly.
Very much appreciated.
Thank you again for such a wonderful descriptive post, sir! Darn. My father was an engineer, mom a stay home raise 5 kids mother, and we made it, always food, etc. Can’t do that any more, unless one has a very lucrative job, both parents must work to raise children and buy a house and car. Times have changed, and in many places not for the best, certainly not for the best of us middle-classers. But thank you Mike.
Cheers for that. By the way I was having a bit of difficulty opening up your blog from The League of Mental Men blog yesterday. So don’t think were ignoring you – will have another go today.
my heroes
best we sit down in a London pub over a pint or two and a plate of jellied eels and talk through this Blair thing! I’ll stand the drinks Sir
perhaps fish and chips instead of jellied eel?
Done deal.
The tragedy of it all is that there doesn’t seem to be an end to the power-games such idiots play and we bear the consequences. Great poem!
You have my full agreement. Thanks for the comment – appreciated.
😀
These ‘idiots’ do keep coming though – they’re everywhere and we usually elect them into their positions of power…what does it say about the collective ‘us’?
both of them are ‘war criminals ‘ !
And should be treated as such! Cheers.
Well .. I think they should be arrested…
Blair is also responsible I believe. for stopping Cormack Murphy O’ Connor from being prosecuted… for not reporting child abuses, by his colleagues/so called priest’s,,,.. over a period of 20 years… then O’ Connor became a cardinal. and Blair later became a catholic… 😀
I feel sure that The Lord Jesus Christ will deal with them in the not too distant future..
Blair is an interesting case. The consummate liar – one can only speculate how many as the metaphoric curtain blacks out the essence of misdemeanors!
until Jesus returns that is.!!!
Oddly I am a gentle atheist yet I follow blogs of an alternative view because I enjoy them. I believe wholeheartedly in compassion and loathe evil deeds and most time those view religion and I share the same space. Good on you Sir!
thx
😀
I think that ‘ If there is No God ‘ there is no Justice..
and I do believe in Justice..God is Just…
My view is different yet I respect yours. To argue on such matters is something I would never do for that would offend the believer. Offence is wrong to all men/women of peace. Bottom line is that the only real difference twixt you and I is our view of after death basically! Not such a big deal.
One of your most powerful poems…Very confronting, I hope Tony gets to read this somehow.
Be good if he did!
