The day the walls spoke |

The righteous are all but dead I hear the walls shout "but not I " smile beating my chest then they at once begin vomiting years of untold atrocities over and over never stopping horrid blasphemy hidden sins dark secrets all too terrible to mention naming names mothers, fathers, preachers, presidents all I wait for my name just for curiosity's sake when I hear silence I feel my self righteous state wholly justified so I begin donning dime store halo then it begins rushing like a stampeded herd or rushing like a river so many things flooding words letters syllables all attached with my name blasphemies evil thoughts now portrayed loudly I begin to weep tears fall to the floor on knees wail weeping washing Halo's fall echoes through empty halls as I sit reconsider preconceived eternal destinies wiping my tears with tainted bloodied hands Surely as time creeps by and many a day falls away megalomania re appears i remembered the day the walls talked and my aspirations of divinity do soon disappear |

Oh yes, Brad, such insight here! Can't tell you how many times I thought my halo was glued on there, and then something reminds me that I need to do some soul-searching! This is magnificent, and something that I really truly appreciate!!! Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |
