Topic: A drunken night's guilty thought... | |
---|---|
This is the first time I post any of my writing... would love to hear what you think.
Winds of human suffering assemble in shantytowns, tent cities, skid rows. assemble in throngs of despair clad residents. Brick, mortar, sweat, pride, crumble with the hate of the unseen. Ideologies twisted beyond recognition Perfect feeble mind traps set The hunters perching at the ready Prey so willing to enter the brightly lit chasms of lies A city called many names where they gather to honor Ares. Aphrodite and Benten under interminable siege downtrodden they may be, they say, but money talks, humanity walks However, if you would, kindly, please, suffer in silence, unburden us from your despair, die.. Our unceasing thanks, for your cooperation. Words spoken through the glitter of polished teeth, alien to the bitter taste of barely edible sustenance Bodies of royalty, unused to the sun’s life Chemically aping it’s myriad hues, strangers to “slightly” tainted water in the bottles of babies. Tough luck kid, your mommy should’ve married up. Better luck next life…afterlife... Messianic wishes emanate from the innumerable Causing circumvention of true meaning Reverse alchemists of word that change word meaning From golden truth, to gray, leaden, malleable cheapness The remorseful lambs standing by while guiltless live for the glory of an instant‘s lust. A child looks for familiar faces in the tangle of unidentifiable sadness Nothing sadder…nothing sadder…Why am I? Witness the spineless bystander, knowing that he knows, and powerless. Corpulent in spirit, a fat, content, unwilling, sheep. Watching seeds and flowers torn asunder Gardens left in ruin The vermin win the day… Old men, the overlords of war Waging video games on unsuspecting innocents Old men, the perverse wise fools who shed no blood for mistakes Young men, the hormone induced tool Blinded by duty to country, duty to dogma, swollen with pride and purpose Bravado, blinded by themselves. O.k. “men” of the world…time, once again, to play cowboys and indians Lovely Mothers and angelic Babies, the innocence of innocence, inconsequential… As morning rises, we resume… WATTTZ… |

I really like it Watttz
It paints a bleak picture for you. Then the last line makes you think of a new day dawning. So maybe it won't be so bad today? Thanks for sharing |
