his feet covered in the bands of leather callused and walking free among the legions this was daddy's war this was mother's ignorance he allowed himself insinuated in the grace of goodness from a tyranny of elders he allowed himself to walk free among white pillar secrets daddy severed the heir of possession mother served her purpose well one empire beheaded in a single blow all this preparation for the little boy to walk along the sea in his tattered sandals triumphant and galavanting on the heads of soldiers and servants and innocent enemies cast from the bridge of one man's sanity daddy never knew his son could love no one else mother never knew her son could embody all that was within his mind legions of pale white horses trapped in marble stables ivory cages and jeweled collars passions of deformity as daddy appears and mother rears her son proper still in those tattered sandals the little boy trembles as a man bleeding on the stairs of an empire |

once again, this is an interesting interpretation,this time of history. well done! this one is more image-intensive than the other one, and so convincing i almost feel like i'm there with him. keep writing more like this - you're going in my personal library for sure, and i'm sure anyone who reads this will agree with me. -Napalm I Love The Smell Of Napalm In The AM! |
