A very interesting poem, very raw. Great title, as well. I enjoyed reading it. Good work.

This is astoundingly, brutally, beautiful. It is immensely powerful, and the last line just blew me away. Again you have achieved literary greatness. This is incredible. Keep up the awesome work!

Ending was magnificent! Defiantly blew me away because I did not expect such a dramatic last line. It clinched this poem's value of worth. Nicely done as always FC.

Keep writing.

“Such glory days they/Were, yet since I’ve/Seen wars unfold/With carnage treatedGladly, by masters of/Their craft” It always seems that leaders (or people of a leadership role) love to throw out the term ‘dictator’ to everyone else around them, but I think everyone who has led something be it a country or an ant farm will become somewhat of a violent master of their crafts. It’s the nature of control. Some kind of character flaw of humanity, or something.

“They thought me gone, as/I let them have their tribal dance around/In victory, their spoils all/Important on display/As I hobbled discretely to one/Side out of view, and poured/My own sweet desire/Gently across the floor behind them/They didn’t noticeThought it was from my roasting/Heart & soul” - Superb stanza. I loved the themes of this.
