    Poem Commentary

    Nothing angers me more than greedy people that encourage war and destruction in order to increase their bottom line. Anger is not a strong enough word, I loathe these bastards. What is good for the goose you see. They should be made to fight and die along with the rest of their compatriots.

    "The Master's Eye"

    I feel like my bones were stolen

       "The Master's Eye"

     

    When any man or group of men

    Turn away from God

    Greed comes in along with sin

    To discorporate their thoughts

    Saying look at all we’ve got

     

    It’s not enough                                                                                                

    We must have more for the goodwill

    Of our state

    Though we abhor the ways of war

    We must liberate Kuwait

    Or any other state to which we can’t relate

    From those whose needs reflect their greed

    We really CANNOT wait

     

    I speak of sin in terms of men

    Cause women don’t burn our kids

    Or bomb a town, burning all around

    As rich men raise their bids

     

    It’s not Kuwait’s saddened fate

    Its how many we can kill

    Their history’s no mystery

    They follow Satan’s will

     

    When any man or group of men decides that others die

    They follow sin

    Yet God looks in

    They come under The Master’s Eye

     

    News is good

    When Iraqi blood flows at a quickened rate

    We see destruction and insurrection at ten and two and eight

    And in between more brutal scenes as Satan celebrates

    We brag that we lose few men

    On our bombing runs

    What of little children

    And other helpless ones?

     

    It’s not their fault the laws of God lie shattered in the dirt

    They know the wrath of Satan’s will and every kind of hurt

     

    If this angers me then God must be reeling in His pain

    As His Eyes fall on those that kill for earthly gain

    Those who fall under The Master’s Eye

    Are already dead

    They cannot hide

    Their spirits died

    When they put themselves ahead of God

     

    To those that come under The Master’s Eye wrapped in their bonds of hate

    Let others die as they bleed dry the newly chosen state

     

    When babies die so men can fly and stay so high

    On power

    The Master’s Eye will judge their lives at the final hour

    When we all must come under

    The Master’s Eye.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
