Alas

Alas, as I rest my head above the willowstone tree
And I look down upon the sea of green
An absurd thought occurs to me
That maybe all is not what one may see
Whilst underneath my willowstone tree

Words of wisdom set in stone
Gentle feelings left unknown
Once so widespread but now so alone
Cradled here but soon ventured home
Soon to be one in my humble abode

A symbol of power cannot be loaned
This juggernaut must be de-throned
For they have taken all that we owned
Stand together our bravery must be shown
This juggernaut will be de-throned

Acts of kindness from the bottom of hearts
Criminal damage or stunning works of art?
No common man can tell thee apart
Thus encouraging more wars to start
And now we must simply get ready to depart[/center][/center][/center]

Alright, first off I lose the poem from the start, the rhyming actually surprisingly doesn't seem forced and that's great.....but:

"A symbol of power cannot be loaned
This juggernaut must be de-throned
For they have taken all that we owned
Stand together our bravery must be shown
This juggernaut will be de-throned"

I don't understand this part of the poem one bit, I understand the bits and pieces but how do they go together?

Acts of kindness from the bottom of hearts
Criminal damage or stunning works of art?
No common man can tell thee apart
Thus encouraging more wars to start
And now we must simply get ready to depart

again, makes no sense when put together, how does this fit?

ello there!! im beccaberry and i shall be your reveiwer today :) ok lets get started shall we? ok first i really like this poem its very interesting. But some parts i was alittle confused at first i didnt know what a juggernaut was so i looked it up then it made perfect since its sounds like that your talking about a king or some other form of goverment and if you are not then im sorry cause i see it that way but that is my personal opnion anyway back to the poem my favorite part of the poem was
Acts of kindness from the bottom of hearts
Criminal damage or stunning works of art?

No common man can tell thee apart
Thus encouraging more wars to start
And now we must simply get ready to depart
