Absolutely love this poem. I'm not sure who exactly it's directed toward - but I don't really care. I believe it's a VERY, VERY, VERY well written poem.

A chilling poem and words so true..I could not agree with you more.
So many innocent people left to rot for the happy few that play God from their ivory tower.
A great poem, strong voice and a good choice of words.

Bravo, sweet lady:)

So very true of the wheelers and dealers of politics. Just a couple of grammar issues:

glorified hope DOESN'T balm (don't would be very slangy and idiomatic, and I don't think you want that in this poem)

and
Their frozen SOULS condemn
minds that conspire,
Still warm up their denS
from flames of victim's pyre.

I truly enjoyed this poem, it has a point that can never become to old or to told. I do wish it was longer, one stanza would suffice it for me, but it was fantastic in its elements. I'm sure it will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of any politicians who read it. Thank you

Peace and prosperity

You have portrayed politicians well. I lost all trust for them back when Nixon and Watergate came about. If they are not corrupt when elected, it won't take long for their power to be abused and them to change.

Wow. The flow in this poem.. was incredible. I dont know what it was, but something about the flow.. just amazed me. It was flawless. The subject matter was also very good and very, very true. I really loved this write. Very original.
