Of power crazy fools and the lies they speak Knowing in the end only the innocent pay. From above the skies, the Earth looks so green Whilst down on the ground's a far different scene. This bitter Earth again weeps with young blood Innocent women, children, and ideals of good. Corporations and lunatics deceive and deny And the media baron encourage that lie. However, some're aware and prepared to fight The might of the masses will do what is right. This bitter Earth again weeps with young blood Innocent women, children, and ideals of good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=judyCgN2daA My Poetry Site

Right from the start, I've based it on the originl Sicilian court idea of 8-6 that is an octave and a sestet, the starting couplet starts, and ends the Octave, and ends the sestet and the sonnet as well. The fact that in this example everything rhymes is an accident, all that is neccesary is 5 couplets so looking at it in couplets we have: 1. 2. 3. 1. the octave and 4. 5. 1. the sestet. Like the Italian there is no set meter but I tried to be a purist and go for Iambic Pentameter My Poetry Site Last Edited By: Teagan De Danaan Jun 5 12 2:52 PM. Edited 1 times.
