well, i havent had any feedback on my previous ones for awhile now. maybe this one will get some.


Sunday's Black Sermon

I left this house again
For Black Sunday;
The rain was leaking
Through the linoleum floor.
I made a saddened end
On Black Sunday;
The air was creaking
Through the weekend doors.

Outside nitrogen fills the air
Praising Black Sunday;
It explodes our tiny minds
Into the nothing in our heads.
The clouds have rarely cared
On these Black Sundays;
Raining down acid on our eyes,
Leaving the blind seeing red.

Watching bleeding hearts in the streets
Praying on Black Sunday;
It's too much to feel,
But feelings never last.
The prayers bounce back form the heat,
Is God deaf on this Black Sunday?
The fire's choir never heals,
Let's all burn here in the past.

Thank you preacher for your words
For it's Black Sunday;
Behind the pews lay the ded,
Resting thier pennyless souls.
We all want to R.I.P. in the dirt
On a later Sunday;
Close conscious curtains in our heads
When the sermon grows old.

So here the story's told
Of this Sunday
And what our ideas brought
To those who left pennance.
But waht did your sin behold
On this God Day?
Was it something left to rot
Beside your faithful church attendance?

Forgive the breathing lost,
Here's Done Days;
It's all we sleep to now
Even in this sinful storm.
We'll forever pay the cost
Of our Fun Days;
We'll learn true prayer somehow,
And feel the pain of being reborn.

very good. And I really enjoy your poetry.
excellent line: "Raining down acid on our eyes, leaving the blind seeing red."
You have a uniqueness to your words.
A way to look at things that others would see.
Nice. And I'll try to keep up with your stuff, cause I really like it.
Maybe people in teen are intimidated, or they are unable to see the deeper meaning and that's why they don't respond.
Keep posting
