The Reaper ~~~ Speak not these words this is no game Do not even whisper the authors' name Their forces watch from every crack They're out in force so watch your back ~ When I am dead flesh rotten away Bones hung in sun for wind to play Twist off my scull and carve these words Then send it to these computer nerds ~ They write the games of blood and gore Teach empty heads to kill and more They lead us through a senseless slaughter They twist your son and then your daughter ~ Carve these words and carve them deep Kiss your *** good-by when grim comes to reap ~~~ I'm not ugly! I'm just visually challenged! |

Yikes! This is a very potent piece of poetry! So descriptive and foreboding...such a powerful message. It gave me a shiver, Rex. ~ Claire |

Wow! This is certainly powerful. It is very dark and maybe more than I would like to admit exists in reality,but it is definitely moving which is the one true barometer for poetry. David2 David2 |

This is so dark but so much a part of our reality. You presented it in such a powerful way. Excellent read!! Poetry~ Words falling on paper, painting a dream. Shawna R. Holder Boise, Idaho |

OHHHH scary..creepy..shivers down the spine..but I LIKE it!! Mind you I also love electrical storms and ghost stories!! Seriously, I thought this had an interesting and ture message to it as well, violence begets violence, the games children play makes you wonder what our world will be like. And THAT IS scary Tess "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

Yes, Rex, the absence of a punch line took me by surprise. Great writing, though. Denise |
