Leviathan
Colossus like — head and shoulders — stands out from the crowd
Bellows — a frank acerbic stream — a torrent clear and loud
A steadfast Giant — articulate – in his calculated prose
A new — and rising — reprising star — and the one the masses chose.
Charismatic and engaging — rhetoric skilled and finely honed
Representative of those who formerly felt alone
Talismanic — his astute charms did woo the common man
And lead the way – in disarray — to a distant promised land.
HE reached that shore — of a Province torn — and with disciples cast aside
HE gained his crown — did not look down — took censure in his stride
HE claimed his throne — and stood alone — and cast his gaze below
Contemptuous then — up to the end — still basking in the glow.
Powerful imagery Leviathan either in good or bad for some reason Big Ian Paisley springs to mind.
ReplyDeleteCould be well of the mark but still very deep prose.
