Pewter cloud rising Hundreds of feet Blending unending Stampede of defeat Grey on gray matter This pale of pact Crushed bones, wafting the air From crimson splats ~Of broken souls~ Nose to backside Shoving over the edge Of truth and honor His glory, they hedge. I'd not want to be Executor driven by pride Hand leading spineless They over the side. An answer owed Pure mutilated death To the owner of souls And of what's left. So, pardon me I decline your herd Robots obeying Honoring your word. Brainless machines Marching to your beat Strength in numbers On a deadman's street. Rather be bullet ridden And sieved full of holes Then run over that cliff With a ring in my nose. Comtempt belies Your pretty face Lovely lies Man-created grace. I feel, not fear Your scorn and hate For group mentality It is too late. I live to honor His power alone Often, singly, I speak out My mind, my truth And my piece For, in Him I have no doubt. Heard over the din Of shriek and shrill Gruesome end Of your ego's kill. Angels applauding Not, souls wronged Who joined your pack So they'd belong. But, clapping for me I, who stood firm Sang my own song Felt pain and hurt Until I thought I'd burst! And you? Would do best To drown Yourself First! . . . ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Lori, Thanks for reading and your replies. I usually write "I"....but my poetry is not always about myself...this is more a personal observation about life in general.... though true, I stand alone, more often than not, I have to remember and double check my own motives from time to time, making sure my own ego has not overridden common sense...making sure arrogance of thinking I know best for everyone else, is in check... In reality I can only take care of me, and speak out when need be... Hugs you, I appreciate you, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

This is awesome. We can exhault Him in our own way, in our time. That is what he wants- a personal relationship with you. I have known many people (my parents included) who attend to say they attend. This is not the way, but you know that. I love this work. May God Bless You, My Friend, Pat |

Pat, I felt something very strong in this write. I read it over more than once, too. But, because I don't know the entire meaning or reasons, I won't say anymore here. I am very impressed at the way that you stand up for what you believe, friend. Thank you for sharing your heart and your poetry. Hugs,  Ethel |

Ethel, That works. Just means that often people follow someone's thinking and that entire group would follow their leader right over a cliff, without question. Not using one's own mind, there is a great need for some to belong and take up with what ever seems popular, just as long they are included and don't have to make decisions or come up against what is right and moral or runs against the grain. Whether it be a church or a clique of any kind. Thank for your comments. If I didn't always speak up, no matter how unpopular it is, I wouldn't have much self respect. Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

PatMYFRIEND~ You know, I came back to this today and found even more wisdom in your thoughts. How perceptive you are and admirably I would tell you that it is of God-given purpose when we know we are right and stand up for ourselves~ It may cause others to delve within the demons of their own making ... but, no matter the outcome of their fruitless follies, YOU are a gifted writer and will contribute much to this world, while 'they' (don't ya' love that all-encompassing word?) falter in their 'cover-up' tracks ! 'So, pardon me I decline your herd Robots obeying Honoring your word. Brainless machines Marching to your beat Strength in numbers On a deadman's street. Rather be bullet ridden And sieved full of holes Then run over that cliff With a ring in my nose.' You are sooooooooooooo right on ! I could just *hug* you !  Okay ... I just did~ Have a GREAT day and a better tomorrow~ God has blessed you greatly, lady~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ Hi 'they' !  ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
