Call of Viddax
Arise, arise, the dusky day has dawned
Time for the lost, dispossessed and scorned
We of DeepUnderground shall rise
And cry our chained hidden cries
Come my pryomaniacs
Burn the vain towers of greed
London, Parliament
Incinerate their gluttonus seed
Come my Critics
Question the values and acts
Earth, Politics
Question their expenses, and tax
Come one, come all
To the madman's ball
We'll dance, we'll sing
And change everything
Viddax calls you
The coming is true.
Time for the lost, dispossessed and scorned
We of DeepUnderground shall rise
And cry our chained hidden cries
Come my pryomaniacs
Burn the vain towers of greed
London, Parliament
Incinerate their gluttonus seed
Come my Critics
Question the values and acts
Earth, Politics
Question their expenses, and tax
Come one, come all
To the madman's ball
We'll dance, we'll sing
And change everything
Viddax calls you
The coming is true.

Just a little ditty that came from my head; about how the corrupt and evil would be dead, if my will was finally said.

I normally don't like this kind of "call to arms" poem, though they monopolised my earlier work, but this is constructed with such elegance, such a good ear for rhythm and rhyme, that it's impossible to resist. I think you should put a "the" before "madman's ball," "question" would make more sense than "inquest their," and I'm not sure "day of dusk" is quite accurate, but apart from those quibbles this is excellent. Now, where's my Margaret Thatcher mask and petrol bombs...

I'll take note of your notes and change it as is appropriate. I put day of dusk to detract and contrast the 'new dawn' feel of the poem.
