State of Despair

0 posted 2001-02-04 11:59 AM


This dark one was inspired by anomaly187's poem 'Look Away'. Enjoy.

"Birth of Our Decease"

Cling on to worthy morals,
the world…
is sailing away.
Don’t eye the cloudiness,
the sun…
steers you astray.

World leaves the station soon,
our lives…
dissolve to air.
Upon your watch conveys,
that time…
is in despair.

But oh! We have heavens,
and god…
doesn’t even care.
He cradles his head in hands,
the angels…
glide to the clear.

Our cosmos in an ocean of gas,
and we…
threw the ignition.
Caring too little of valued things,
now fires…
damn our mission.

When we soon awake tomorrow,
our lands…
covered in heat.
Melt our teary, sorrowful eyes,
and faith…
crumbles at our feet.

Hell bubbles the torched earth,
now the devil...
rules the land.
See what we’ve done now,
our lives…
no longer stand.

We were loaned many chances,
we ignored…
all the verity.
Now our flesh will scorch black,
and bloody eyes…
will seek the clarity.

Of forgiveness...

Whoa... nice job Jeremy.
I really did enjoy this one.
Lately we've all been writing so darkly... I am loving it.
This piece is a great contribution.
I'd mention my favourite part, but I really don't have one.  This poem has such a unity to it that I can't really say.
Good job Jer!  This is one for the library!

apocalyptic and somehow beautiful... right up my alley... *finds it so hard to discern a modern poet's take on God from single works*...

jeremydraul encourages Constructive Critiques: "Please comment upon anything you desire. Tear it to pieces if you feel it's necessary. Thanks."

How should I do this JD?
it is already perfect
let me check your other poem again and see if you surpassed that one

I liked this poem, but the style really did not appeal to me. You've done better, but all in all a good poem here.
Nice theme.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Thanks Dopey, I needed to hear something negative because sometimes I feel that people lie to me and say its good. I dont think you read it the right way, maybe I'll throw some commas and what not in...Thanks to everyone else also, your words mean a lot to me....

Very unique... like the different approach you took compared to your last poem.
