Poetry Corner: The Hate Machine

[anthroguy101]

I wrote the following poem in school, then typed it on the computer, where I made some revisions. I also posted a copy on Fur Affinity. Here it is:

They say they stand for freedom
And all that you hold dear
They tell you news and stories
And what you want to hear

They claim they're fair and balanced
And think they are the light
What they're not going to tell you
Is they really want to fight
For greed and tyranny
And not for what is right

They like the Constitution
But not what lies within
They do not know or care
That they have also sinned

They claim they have the answers
By putting on a show
Their words are just pollution
Not what you need to know

The hate machine keeps whirring
As it generates more lies
It feeds on others' fear
As your freedom slowly dies

Poem (c) 2010 Clarke B. Macbeth
