‎"The Cavalry Cry"


Perhaps it was that moment of abstraction that clarified all things

a moment to realize that nothing made any sense
as he wrote line after line, in a sort of endless runic rhyme

all in a feeble attempt to document
perhaps clarify all these events
and twists

a joke made of oneself
and in the end the poems will speak for themselves
and to each about, and, every one, everyone

spin spun the span, he began
as he had begun, under the gun
so many times, it all became do drab
poetry bad, melancholy sad, SO...

sew, We sow
Victory!!!

the only truth we know
as the messages we pick up from the second heaven go...

"Consider the source!!!", we say to ourselves
listen to thosethese warriors, proclaimers of the cross
the warmth power and truth we recognize and revalate

as opposed to those who tease and exacerbate
problems,
confuse, tears

confound and confuse
"get behind me, Satan
tester tempter and tease!"
a kingdom you offer if brought to our knees

ne, nay, neigh!

We Slay with a pen,
mightier than the sword
a word proclaimed, we say
with power, authori-tay

claimed from, on High!
enemies, mock, roll eyes and sigh

lines drawn in the sand
a division in discernment
divisions divide
a turn of the tide

"Calvary cavalry ride!"

songs sung
power outages across the city, in tongues
a battle, a mystery
"something is being won!"

In the beginning I thought of Picasso and his paintings... Trying to make sense of them was what made them so interesting.

Enjoyed your words Martini.
