Full Circle

Take it how you will, my muse is being cryptic today.

 

In a world where midnight is the new noon

twisted angels fly like butterflies

and all crosses require a permit

to be worn around a neck.

Speaking no evil requires a fork

through the tongue,

but spill no blood

for a red rose stain on virgin soil

will create the new age crown of thorns.

Without a second coming savior to wear it

the feet of the innocent will bleed

as an apology to Mother Earth

for the constant pain in her side.

Then we would have a red rose world

where truth and lies blend together

leading us back to the world

we were already living in.

Is this God’s will or human nature?

Amen or Damned?

Reviews

[Another Poet]

Love it! Nice written.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

I appreciate the way that you are not flowering up the details of life's (at times) gory realties, I like the font you have used here, very fitting

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much, that was my intention :)

[Corset]

Is there a difference? Are they not mirror images of themselves, in constant state of battle trying not to crash into themselves? symmetry in gravitational pull, good vs evil, yin and yang, one can not and does not exist without the other in a material realm. :)
I love the thought processes in this write, it just swims with higher intelligence.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Woah, you really made some very fascinating points. Thank you very much fr the review and your insights.

[Eileenws]

Very poignant poem. I really like the two last lines. The questions give some things to ponder. Nicely done.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much.

I believe it was George Carlin who said that humans wouldn't destroy the earth, not hardly. Before that could ever happen, the world would simply shake us off, like a dog shaking off fleas. Fleas. That's what we are to this planet, crappy a*s, warring, self-righteous fleas who take and take and rarely give back. We are owed a doom, in many ways. And as far as God is concerned, if there really is an omnipotent being sitting upon a gilded throne, I can only imagine him laughing his a*s off at each one of us... I know, if I were such a deity, that's what I'd be doing.

Anyway, a mesmerising write, with just the kind of metaphors, bite and sharp wit I enjoy. I'm all the better for having read it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you so much, quite a compliment... Carin may have been a comedian but he was a smart guy. Your thoughts on God are great.
