The Stage Was Set Comments

The last three lines of this poem make it a vivid Poem of Witness (the preferred term for poems involving political issues) . The first part could be a Charlie Chaplin comedy or a Monty Python skit but suddenly you stop the gags and humor and focus tightly on changes taking place, and gradually what seemed to be a comedy of errors turns into a tragedy of power politics. The multiple tones are well handled for maximum effect.

Lovely narrative piece of poetry, well articulated and nicely penned. Speech making requires confidence to overcome stage fright. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
