The dark angel of no address.

You had it all it seems
but so did time,
and so on the grounds
you worship, the altar
leaves you empty
as the sermon
spills blood
on your shadow,
you have a cross
to bear eternally
with crucifix memories
cutting into your mind,
the dead carcasses of
rats are hungry
ready to eat your soul.

[John the Baptist]

Not sure which one cheered me up more, this, or "The Raven"

[andrew mitchell]

Lol John, the raven by Poe is far superior. Yes both maybe bleak but I just wanted to do something gothic. I didn’t expect any comments actually. Thank you John.

and R.E.M. is singing, "Losing my Religion"---
the one song I ever played the drums to...
now I am of a different drum....much like Emily D. I fell away from
the idea of organized religions...what once meant everything became a meal for those rats.

I wonder if there will be religions in the free world countries in 100 yrs, they seem more like fiction as I get older. Thanks J.
