poem - it's the Coliseum

it's the Coliseum

it starts with a plan
but you were never part of it
simply the collateral damage
its macabre
it's downright dirty
the Sheeran-Macklemore crusade proves the point
Zionists become Zealots
spectators become critics
it's not about the music
it's not about the show
it's the Coliseum
someone's always crucifying an idea
fighting the winless fight
but the hungry lion never stops its roar
the gladiator is you
always fighting for your life
not knowing who the enemy really is
the shadow never reveals its true self
not until you close your eyes
forever

thank you,
joseph pede
