I am He I am He The twice born Son Unconceived As yet undone In my hand I hold a gun Against Blind Justice The Tainted One There is no ransom She shan't go free Forever will she be Next to me I feel the trigger I see the blow Recoil in anger She bleeds not slow I heal the wound With soothing speech So I can kill her Again next week Every time I feel the itch A thousand times, I'll kill the Bitch As yet undone Unconceived The twice born Son I am He So it is written So shall it be So it is spoken So mote it be Alicat ------------------ Le Jongleur Aspirante [This message has been edited by Alicat (edited 07-31-99).] |

Perhaps you should explain this one to us a bit. I think I have an idea what it's all about..but, I don't want to misinterpret. |

elvira: Thanks! shan't and sharn't Dolores: Nope, not angry at anyone. Just that I have many different poetic sides, from the satanic to angelic, free and constructed, love and hate. I think you catch the drift. After 10 years of writing poetry, I think I would shoot myself if I was still writing in the same style. Sally: When this was wrote, I believe I was listening to Iron Maiden's "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". It's basically about revolution and the angst-ridden hatred of 'Justice' in this present context. And, no, I'm not advocating overthrow of the government..at least not at the moment..it's just something that wrote itself. Also, the last 4 lines are a conclusive ending, prophetic in nature. i.e. 'As it is written, so shall it be' kinda thing. Alicat |
