Well, here is another fairly serious poem.  I was thinking, "What if God quit his "job"? I decided to write a poem about it and this is how it came out. The first couple of stanzas are written from his point of view and the last one is in third person.


NO TITLE YET FOR THIS ONE

Overcome by the pressures
of immortality
in its greatest form.
To outlive the spirits
from years before
and play the part
of puppetmaster.
And preface lives that haven't started.

Overcome by the beckoning
of delirium
in its most evil form.
I have failed to
reconcile the differences
with myself.
A broken savior I have come to be.

Half the world is rubble
and enveloped in chaos.
There are no longer any boundaries.
The other part remains untouched,
but not for long.
The cup of discord and anarchy
will fill up quickly and spill out.


Yeah, that's it.  It probably isn't that good but hey, what are you gonna do? By the way, don't give me any BS about religious stuff. This poem doesn't reflect any presonal views and I'm not saying that I think God is gonna quit.  Don't forget to tell me how much I suck.

You suck.

Okay, now that that is over with - I liked the poem. Particularly the last stanza. Whether or not you were trying to make a statement is your choosing and personal view, but from a reader's perspective I think you made an important statement (that doesn't necessarily even relate to "God").

well, what do you think it was about? Or what did it relate to? I think that's what I'm trying to say...

First off, thanks to everyone for telling me how great I am ( ).

Second, to Star T:
what do you mean "enough of the so-called funny poems"?  You can't be serious.  Now, out of spite, I'm going to write nothing but funny poems.  Congratulations, Hitler Jr., you've just lost your chance to see the serious side of the Stink Twink.

I'm kidding......again.
