"Innovation" for the sake of Applause!

Dope innovations for the sake of applause and tender 

if lauded beside a lawn mindin' my own business 

I might see god in a t-shirt

Maybe make me less than agnostic as I pause to wonder

 if god came down in fair-weather...

Gave me an exhausting conversation about purity'n'sinnin'

 ...and the relationship between 'em

I might stop wondering how to grow extra hot-heads like the hydra 

like the signs of the fire hydrant in hottest of summer

 When the kids play merry-go-round on the side of the sidewalk

interestingly enough...

 I have had about enough of adults actin' adolescent

Add that bad-batch to the passing-fact that-that bad-pass at my rash-act-trash...

Seems off the top

a swat-gnat

i've been swatting those gnats as well..
the bad-batch line is so good the way it rolls off the tongue.

yes, adults acting like children...this makes me think of our government right now, which is supposed to be a govern-meant to work for the people...not just fight among themselves...and i wonder what kind of conversation we would have with god if he came down and "was a slob like one of us" as Joan Osborne sang...
stirring piece here.

Gnats are annoying
Your words mean much coming from such a prolific and wizened writer...

I wonder that as well...
Thanks so much
I knew somebody would like that line...

[apennylate]

I think it cut off the other part of my message...
I wonder that as well, about the Government...
I am glad somebody enjoyed that line as much as I do

" I have had about enough of adults actin' adolescent"
This line captured my attention.
And that's true...
I agree with you because maturity isn't the matter of age but the matter of experience and ability to understand and handle things properly.

[lightsong]

can I understand from this that You want to be a God ;) here is something good for You to hear, we all have it inside us the essence of God and You seem to know and understand what this means, unlike many other ones who claim to be adults with open minds but they are no more than brains locked inside heads lol I don't know what this means. this hectic world with those fake persons will keep giving You headaches and "blow" Your mind, but it's Your action of creation that keeps You on track while You give words and ease Your spirit, now I surely must APPLAUD You my friend :)

[apennylate]

Of course I want to be a god...
You have probably nailed the assumption of this poem the best, Light
Like always, you read between the lines...
haha...
Thanks so much

[gram linski]

Great title Silente, is is God, the adolescent or POTUS, lol,

[apennylate]

Thanks, Gram...
Appreciate the witty remark...
None of the above...
TIS MY PEN!
lololol

[barleygirl]

In this age of Facebook, where some are posting their lives as if manufacturing a myth meant to impress, your rambling rant hits many satisfying notes. Some present their faith over social media like they are hoping to garner an award for piousness. Some present the same petty gripes in different kiddie pajamas each time. You've pegged it. The reason I often struggle to stay connected when some connections have nothing to do with connecting (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I am so glad you liked this, my friend

Is is "connection through the fakest of circumstances"
That raises my ire...
Especially when it involves disconnecting an entire generation

[Relic]

Some adults seem to have inherited wounds from youth that somehow never washed away. They still see through the eyes of anger and use it as a tool.

No one here can weave words in the same style as you, Silente.

Nice expressions within this.

[apennylate]

D'aw, thanks, Relic...
I appreciate it greatly

Interestingly enough... The snippet ended at
"sidewalk"...
Added the rest as a freestyle of sorts

[Sami Khalil]

All wonderful...

[apennylate]

Oohh, a good one

[Sami Khalil]

It sure is...

[Sami Khalil]

I feel this wonderful poem is about agnosticism and pondering on the questions of God, sin, adults acting like children and the many innovations and myths that sprung out of man and many religions. I love how you say if we can see God in fair weathers. Brilliant. Your questionings on innovations are beyond just conversations.

[apennylate]

A review beyond just a comment...
Thanks, Sami
You-dah-best
(It was a snippet of a rap I did, but...
"Poeticized"

[Sami Khalil]

Much obliged. You are most welcome.

[apennylate]

Wait...
IDK!

Wonderful write, making me think of all the stuff life is right now I understand your words,I often wonder what God must think and if he took the time to really walk among us what would be his findings ;-

[apennylate]

A good wondering, and a wonderful comment...
Thank you very much, Willow
