"CROSSED OUT" (Copyright 2001 by: MARK V SHELDON) Dementia The men shout Christ cries The Roman Empire roaming with fire honing the pyre Mental metal makes a medal All the underdogs wonder how ungodly redness hatches from numbskull readiness Now read this: A hammer can't convict a convent Stammer, "convenient" but behave less they give YOU a grave Who is the fire extinguisher the inexhaustible Dire Relinquisher Now? "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

Sometimes, you just have to speak out, even if they hang you for it. And who, indeed will pay for all of mankind's folly? |

Deranged since Cain. An accused Christ sacrificed under darkened clouds for whom? Cursed, the mad fiddler torches the 7 hills a score and a half years later. Unlearned progeny, war on the hungry to preserve the fat. Unembalmed now the creamated will rise to the plot, vanquishing comforted freedom. Arson banishes larceny. Pain stains come out it's a wash. |

Midnitesun: Indeed. And if you're capable, you'll even avoid the rope. Richard: WOW. Thank you for the inspired reply. I'm always honored when a poem of mine inspires a poem from another, especially from one whose poetry I highly admire. Thank you very much, and I'll ponder your impression. Startime: I am moved by your reaction -- Further reafirmation of the subjective nature and inspirational possibility inherent in every poem. I'm glad that this resonated with you and thank you for your read & reply. -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

Written with red in the midst of burning "pyre" I must confess that the images you draw seem too blurry to me.... There is certainly the intensity of the quick scenes...and some opressive feeling which should tell of the dark side of the world which has opened up more than ever lately. Thank you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Blurry at first, My Melody... then vividly clear when you start seeing red. Whether it's in man's blood-stained history or whether it's current affairs, unfortunately, the pattern is always 20/20.  Nancy, thanks for stopping by and pondering. Let me know what conclusions you reach. -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |

Anger....wrath...failure to stand up for what you believe in...in the beginning...then ugly takes over and stamps out anything good to "preserve the fat". A death scene both physically and emotionally...I think mentally we'll all be challenged by the deed. This is so deeply stirring! Blood let of the masses. Sincerely, Regina |

Regina, yes -- a "bloodlet" indeed... for the masses and the individuals. Such horrors seen, read, and heard in our daily lives. Will mankind ever learn? -MVS "Learn to let go of fear, doubt, and disbelief..." --THE MATRIX |
