"The Beast"
  by .:I WILL NOT BE SILENT!:. (PROTEST PICS POSTED! CHECK 'EM OUT!)


They say the beast is coming
But it’s already here
Creating turbulence from across the oceans and seas
Driving forces from under trenches and into open spaces
Unmasking itself for the world to see
But it has been clever in its disguise
In its revelatory speech
Sweetening plots with sugar coated fallacies
Provoking mentalities
And erasing technicalities
With an ease
That can move the mightiest army
Amongst foreign trees
Bringing down nations
With the smoothness of the nicest breeze
He breathes,
And as people yawn…
This beast makes its way into bodies
And takes from them their ability to stand alone on two feet
Making quick sand from solid ground
Drowning the educated preventing the world from their
Enlightenment he places them on mute so that the masses may not
Hear what they speak

They say he’s coming…
But my senses tell me he is here
Has been here for ages now
And we see him on a daily basis
Succumbing subconsciously
To his imaginary oasis
His…
Persuasive words
That dagger endless souls
Like savage animals
He takes the human mind as his favorite toy
And with his lies therefore he molds
Using leaders as his preferred weapon of choice
Humanitarian intentions warped with
Terrorist implementations
Covering holes with fake dissertations
Abiding only by self exaltation at the cost
Of world degradation

They say the beast is coming
But if you look around closely
Look beyond the surface and into the strains of society
You will see
That the beast…

It’s already here.

I like the poem, I feel as thoe, the beast has been here, for ages now, like you said, and I don't think it is anyONE person, but for one this government, America, but thats my thoughts, and the Media, the way they portray a certain type of people, and I got a similar peom about the Beast, I wrote a while back call Loyalty, check it out sometime, 10

I might be wrong, but I think I understand the type of politics you're talking about here, and maybe even who the beast is. I guess it can mean different things to different people, but to me this piece really seems to speak about manipulation in the form of hope and change, making people into pawns with more of the same oppression and murder. I think it is really powerful, what you have written.
