Mandated by God to break His commandment
Your empire shattered ours with bullets
Breaking your Golden Rule,
You cracked our souls with opium
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Pound
You plundered our land, our heritage
So we put our hearts to the side
Until the time these bullets can be returned to you

Wow, that was powerful. Well done!
Everywhere you look, there are dictators and evil leaders. Some skulls do need cracking right back at them. Well said, hope violence is not the answer though.
A powerful poem with a perfect image
"You cracked our souls with opium". Such a great line, Shaun and that choice of statue is eerie.
What an ominous (or promising) and perfectly phrased final line. Wonderful work, Shaun!
Wow. That is very profound and well done!!
I love the slap in the face you dished in this poem by pointing out the hypocrisy and offering to return the gift of violence. So nicely done.
Really good✍️♦️♦️♦️♦️
