Smack! Hit in the head
by some bubble mouthed
little freak of nature
asking the questions of
the millenium nightmare
gone south this season
though folloeing his heretic
footsteps softly blending in the sand.
Dumb basterd actually belives
that heaven is a door
held open by the shaky
palm of St. Peter
who reads your scripture
in derelict text forgetting
that once in a while
you had to be human.
Laughing at his excuses
as the tears stream my face
I get up to take aim
stopping short of rapture
for in seeing him
I see me and everyone
of us trying to put it straight.
So what of your beliefs
if you just want
a second chance
that falls short
making triumph a bitter
and somewhat agonizing pill
to force down your
rightous foul throat.
And in the end
we all just can't give in
to falling on our asses
looking up again
to see shading the Sun
the smile we would die for
the whipered content we love
and the sweet carress of lips.

I can't tell if you are angry, or in love, or both.......I liked the flow of this though   -SEA

hmmm. . .what's going on here?  i can't see exactly where your finger is pointing.  we have references to religion (st. peter), and an apparent struggle between belief systems.  also, the feeling of being the victim of zeal, all wrapped up with a statement of triumph (can't give in to falling on our asses) and love?

oh well.  road maps to the soul aren't necessary i suppose.  i love the flow and energy of this, though.
