The Fall of a God
August 27, 2002
Copyright 2002 Doug Pretorius

I hold my head
and kick the dust from my feet
like kicking off my old life
a life I never believed
I lived the life I was sold
I went where I was told
now you've let me down
like all those before
I wanted to trust you
I thought you were more
a dazed dream is what I am in the end
but you're nothing without me, friend
here I understand
how I could be so deceived
you are a god
but only because of me

(big hugggssssss) Oh Doug, I feel a great sense of yearning in this, yes, friends always make such wonderful demi-gods and may they always be there for you to support you in great need! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, it is so great to read your wonderful poetry again, I have missed you so much, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Doug, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, I'm VERY pleased that you realized this was about a human 'god', and so quickly. You must be getting to know my style well
