    Government Takeovers

    The garden path is turning somewhat darker

    Leading us from the smell of flowers and fresh grass into....

    The deep, dark woods.

    All around the monsters lie in wait for a feast

    They have human forms and faces

    How do we recognize them

    They all wear suits and scurry from place to place

    on little clandestine missions

    Be careful fellow traveler for the path is getting darker

    The monsters are growing larger

    They come together and meld into one large being

    Greater in power than anything we've ever seen

    There is a similar path in a far off land

    It too turned dark, the monsters grew and tried to swallow everyone

    That path almost reached it's end

    Until a superpower and it's friends saved the day, or did they

    They saved that day only to lead us to this one

    That path was carved by the wrong monster in the wrong place

    This one is the true path where all the monsters dreams come true

    Be wary fellow traveler

    Be wary...

    True that...

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
