“Evil is done without effort, naturally, by fate, and the property is always the product of an art” Charles Baudelaire *************************************************** Time moves, but fate compounds by flesh. Sunbright is dull on closed window minds- Where dirty curtains hang, shuting out Godslight. In soils of stored hate, only flowers of evil grow, That cause the petals of love to wilt...and die! Circuits short, but some breakers hold Until atoms fuse, just before meltdown.. Out of control, the mind speed warps Towards the bridge at the bank of the styx, On the road that leads to center of the world. But argument changes the brush stroke; At muzzle flash, fools make no flinch. Evil wins, a lineage is smudged...when A bullet adds numbers, to the right of the dash With bloodink sopped from maternal drool. Controlled insanity, mind vessel empty; Forces, electric-chemical, glue wheel to hands, Aiding caution in traffic, but murder shuns rest 'til all crimes are known...yet-still-- yet For more...the howling beast makes wail. To morning songs, angels dance, then settle. Woe makes fail attempt to warn the lovelies- Grief that bears a coin for passage--enters; Sharp and loud, repeats a sound, but no one hears The cries of those, who for their mothers call. *************************************************** "This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper." T.S.Elliot..."The Hollow Men" [This message has been edited by ice (12-20-2012 05:32 AM).] |

Thank you Karilea...the light of God in every heart must welcome these children and all the other misfortunates home. I haven't written a word since April, but this situation moved my muse from its months long slumber..My mouth and pen have needs for better words..winter, ah winter..time for me to write again. ******************************************** G.R. Thank you my friend. It takes a lot of emotional energy for me to write words about evil...I don't like it, but I must say them. |

Thank you MD No whimper here, just a primal scream. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

That certainly hit the solar plexus, Ford. Have missed your beautiful and powerful poetry. Such humans (and many other things) make me aspire to the goodness of my cat and my dog. Owl |
