Thoughts for the Fourth of July

[rayheinrich]

My favorite is "The Forbidden Planet".

Yes, "leviathan" here is meant to equate the government with a large ungainly, and dangerous beast.

Good poem. And yes, Forbidden Planet, one of my favorites.
The process in your poem reminds me of the Krell's machine
that could turn thoughts into material objects. Have always
remembered the phrase:  "Monsters from the Id".

And that's what we celebrate here on the 4th, the creation of our monster/leviathan.
