Angler Fish, by Brian37
Online The following poem is an indictment on humanity's failure to see that utopias don't exist and how humans get sucked into hurting other humans over the idea of a utopia when the fact is there is no such thing.
Angler Fish, By Brian37
The bait of utopia
The words of charisma
Ended the lives
Of those in Gayana
Bitter almonds
Mixed in aid
The cool fooling
His promise to save
The Arian eyes
And golden locks
God’s chosen ones
Conquer Bravaria
The missals slam
In towers of two
Allah’s minions
His biddings do
The angler’s bait
Is utopian fraud
Infantile need
To control the mob
And those of the same
Who wish only to love
Suffer by hands
Of utopian fraud
The angler fish
Offers you food
Dangerous placebos
In order to woo
You nibble at first
And then you gorge
It is too late
Your in it’s grasp
Then the outsiders
Become outcasts
Easy to slaughter
You become their martyr
Enticing bait
Felonious jerk
Back and forth
It springs it’s trap
The hunger of want
The hunger of need
Draws you in
Until you submit
The angler fish
Catches laymen and wise
Harvard grads
And dolts alike
Give me an apple
I’ll make you white
The grand Marshal
Of all that is right
The lure of utopia
Grand it its mention
Merely the infant
In all of us
Crying for attention.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
SON OF A BITCH, the edit function doesnt work on my op.
I realized my typo after I submitted the title and the post. Could someone please correct the title to Angler instead of Angeler, FUCK.

There is never an edit function for the OP ... That way it can't change as to back track.
Yeah, there is no possible perfect utopia in this life of yin yang, yet it can be an important dream of a better world for all. Umm, what is utopia for a sociopath??? Yicks.
Cool poem dude .... "Crying for attention." Oh yeah ....
