I can't understand this,but I'll try to work it out.
Theory 1:the gate is a larger version of Pandora's Box,somebody opened it,releasing....Hang on,need to run a Lua script.

lua>function a(t) return t[math.floor(math.random()*(#t))+1] end return a({"brutal","large","amazing"}).." "..a({"floating","metal","copper","unobtainium"}).." "..a({"walkers","tanks","tripods"}).." from "..a({"mars","sony","microsoft","cat planet"}).." with "..a({"cats","heat rays","remover guns"})

large metal tripods from mars with heat rays

Okay,so large metal tripods from mars with heat rays are behind the gate,and somebody opened it for whatever reason. Unless it's a metaphor...

Theory 2:This represents software patents.
Opening the gate was them being legalized. Not much more to say.

Theory 3:This is a plot to find people interested in poetry.

I didn't rhyme hate with hate. I used repetition.

That doesn't make it any more acceptable.

the double hate seems ok to me :/
it's not like they were rhyming in the third line of any other stanza anyway

I'm no expert on poems, I really shouldn't criticize. The Hate-Hate repetition is fine. It honestly is a pretty okay poem, Bionico. Still not sure if it deserved a thread but again MAYBE I AM A FOOL

Thinking of making this a thread were anyone can post a poem, then have others critique it. To help people who might have talent.
