Topic: "hail to the thief"

"hail to the thief"
04-25-2005

a vision visible without eyes
a prophecy predictable by all humankind

a tale told across endless generations
a fable fabricated into helpless nations

a saviour savored for thousands of years
a saviour expected by thousands of peers

the hopes of men, collected by others
the prayers of women, molested by brothers

the time of the end, unknown by most
the end of times, overblown by ghosts

the twist of truth, divided by sects
the faux faith, infecting the lands

original here

this is a freestyle poem i came up with yesterday

its not really funny, or humorous, but i didnt know where else to put it

"...i was taken by the hand, from the ocean to the sand..."

Wow zonabi, this was very moving... you never fail to amaze me lovey wink !

Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance.

If you spin around on your chair really fast, things around here will make a lot more sense.

Re: "hail to the thief"

i originally was going to add a third verse, but for some reason i felt it was complete after the second.

If there is no time

Re: "hail to the thief"

i am putting together a compilation book of Art, Comix, Poetry, Lyrics, and even Short Stories.

if anyone is interested in contributing, i think we can make it a collaborative effort.

this will be the first test run of me making a book, and i will be doing it thru cafepress.com

the contents of book will be printed in black and white, only the covers will have color.

just email me or something, and well see whats up.
(credit will be given to authors etc)
