Comment from Air Spirit
Excellent commentary on greed, power, control and corruption... you nailed it girl! You were right on point -- and exemplified these ugly, morally debilitating character defects that taint human decency and defile innocence and purity of heart... Powerful poem!

Comment from Deirdre Anne Gialamas
Dear Pamusart,
This free verse speaks of a common truth which
you have presented in a most engaging manner.
The mataphors used are excellent.
'He controls the corporate erection.' Brilliant!
Best wishes, 'Deirdre Anne

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a clever piece of political free verse. The metaphor is most apt and the link between the politicians and captains of industry or if you prefer it, execitive rapists is well-established here.

Comment from Mary Hollingsworth
Well Pam, well said, I couldn't have said it any better than that. Those are some powerful words that have been well put into context of the liar and reported RAPIST. Who seduces the POWER of the personal opinions of those that surrounds him. Good job Pam

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about people who have money and power think they have the right to abuse other people in any way and hush everybody from speaking out.

Comment from Gloria ....
That's what I like about you, Pam. You don't mince words and boy have you ever hit the nail on this head with this hard hitting post. The lobbyists, bankers and mega-wealthy are about to become a whole lot wealthier, but I guess to some folks it feels good.
A fine free verse with all the vivid nouns and verbs in the right places.

OK. I am not exactly a fan of the Clintons. Bill or Hillary? Thank you for the great review

I think I heard that.
Comment from royowen
Although it's a little hackneyed, but power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely, well done, the metaphorical phalus is a good descriptive analogy, well done Pam, an excellent poem in free verse form, well done, blessings, Roy
