    wishing them all dead

    with the french-canadians
         banging on the wall
    their god-awful music
         raising my god-damn roof
    i wish them all dead,
         not because they're french;
    because.... they ARE?

    why not wish them dead,
         (in my  imagination) i may
    in a world where relaxation
         is devastating the earth
    with black and blue bits of
         plastic, plastic wars for
    plastic worlds, where man LIVES?

    ah! the glories of war
         where my blue armies march
    unquestioning my commands, fight
         on against another unfeeling foe
    who hears the screams , not i
         as the congo is lost again,
    only to be won with more PLASTIC?

    I have to say this poem really makes your brain work.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
