Brick and mortar

Brick and mortar

A Poem by Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)
"

Written as I go review good or bad most welcome

"
Brick and mortar
Air and water
Lamb pig fowl cow
All Went to the slaughter
Sun and moon
Stars and planets
Low and high tide
Wind and rain
Lightning and thunder
Wishing well drops Coin
Saucepan and lid
Mortar and pestle
Knife and fork
Spoon and bowl
Artist and easel
Pen and writer
Dice it rolls on board
Heart and soul
Farmer and plough
Fields and frost
Dust and road
Speed And cars
Money and greed
Lies and honesty
Droughts and floods
Boat and life jacket
Pilot and plane
Boat and sailor
Car and driver
Guns and war
Book and reader
Park and trees
Birds and nest
Fish and water
Beauty and health
Health with longevity
Movie and popcorn
Fridge and food
Money and sustain
Job and exhausted
Skills and work
Lazy and idle
Man and dog
Friends and company
Lovers and love
Man and woman
Plants and water
Life and death
Dying after living
Born without asking
Man and God
Linked forever
The mystery of pairs
The mystery thereof
The wonder of this life
So beautiful paired
So wonderfully staged
The icing is set
The cake is now made
The seats in the opera
Now filled to the stage
The mystery of life
Lies unknown till death
Till all the pawns
In life's chess set do rest
and the actors on Gods mighty
Stage
Do die

Till life and till death

Pair up
So
beautifully best

So till that time
Has come
For that chess s board
Or game of life
That we so dutifully play
Is put to rest
We must toil with our
Bricks and our mortar
Like pigs to the slaughter
This game we. Call life
Such a dutiful test
My chess piece is worn all ivory
And scratched
My time is not up
Let's play checkmate
One more time here
The queen has her pawn
With the sound of that slaughter
The game this life
This beautiful test
With unsavoury zest
