Faults
Today we have the blaming of the faults. Yesterday,
We had the placing of the faults, and tomorrow
We shall have even more faults to place blame for
And today we have the blaming of faults
Yet the spirit will not break, just
Because we have the blaming of faults
We have the people without homes, and ask
Who are to blame for this? We sell the Products
To gain the profits we no longer have, and tomorrow still
We have the people without homes
Yet the hope flows in the unbreakable spirit,
Because we have the blaming of faults
We have the weapons of mass-destruction, and wonder
Where all the wreckage originates from? We see the destruction,
But walk right by it without as much as a glance, because
We have the weapons of mass-destruction
Yet, knowing the world, we believe there can be a new tomorrow
Because we have the blaming of faults
We need little knowledge to cause pain, all that is needed
Is the knowledge of the human brain and how this functions, with this
It is easy to cause pain and suffering, and then we ponder
Over the knowledge we use to cause pain
Yet the human brain has its defenses,
Because we have the blaming of faults
We call it war, because there is faults, and
Because people are left without homes, due to the
Massive groupings of weapons of mass-destruction and
The knowledge the people use to cause pain with these
Yet all this matters little for the spirited population,
Because we have the blaming of faults

A bit too politically correct for my taste, but that's just me being old and cynical. Good work on the contrasting voices, but I thought the second voice could have been made stronger in its conterargument - perhaps the repetiton gets a little too much of a trap for that voice, leaves it too little space. But, all in all the pastiche works well.
ReplyDeleteI like the contrast between the first and the second voice and that you've made the first voice (suposedly the teacher, right?) be the negative one and the second voice the positive one. - I like how you for instance describe people without homes and mass-destruction weapons are not necessarily something that will destroy us in the end.
