    Oh you all need it spelled out?

    Yes metaphor is a lost art these days
    to complicated or subtle
    and your lost
    most minds are slag left after smelting
    the pure metal is rare

    see the mainstream
    a torrent of lemmings pursuing
    some failed escapade of nationalistic fury
    or religionistic psychic sadism

    Where is the aliteration?
    where is the metaphor?

    I am a firey tongue
    burning up words
    and revealing obtuse emotion
    blissed elation

    Let these thoughts give you a hair cut
    and show the empty cavern
    where a brain should be...

    Deep, passionate, I loved the metaphor of minds now being slag versus pure metal. Well written.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
