You Called The Thunder

For Whom do you blame?

The Gods?

The Furies of the Seven Winds?

Why do you anger the beast?!


His grunts, cracking of bones, muscle, backs and neck.

Yet you blame this simple beast?

You call him a 'Monster'

'Beast of the fields,

a mindless creature, whom should kneel unto you as if you were the Goddess Juno herself!

No glory in withdrawing quietly,

a martyrs crown is what you seek!

So,

For Whom Do we Blame?!

The Monster of The Mountain!

The Beast of Jungle Gaelic and Kelt blood!

Hear his mighty roar and bellow!!

Burn this beast of endless fields and mountains of the west!!




But His Skin is FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His Arms are as STRONG AS MOUNTAINS!!!!!!

His Legs are of the FIELDS!!!!!!!!!!!

HIS EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EYES THAT SEE WHEN A TONGUE LIES,

ALWAYS, WHEN IT LIES!!!!!



He is a Mindless Beast!

A Savage!

Lumbering Hulk of Rage!

Primal!

But will not kneel to your 'thunder'

or lamentations.


But when enraged,

when endlessly crossed,

smells a false tongue...


WHEN YOU CALL THE THUNDER,

THE THUNDER STRIKES THE BEAST!

BUT THE BEAST GROWS STRONGER!!!!

STRIKE THE MONSTER!

SMIGHT HIM,

INVOKE ANCIENT GODS AGAINST HIM!!















do not tempt the beast,

or call your thunder,

it will only make him stronger..........





































I AM NO MAN

BUT THE BEAST OF THE FIELD,

AND YOUR THUNDER.......

tickles!!

I like the poem. I didn't know we had to be perfect. I have 120 army shots in my body. My memory is bad. The 11 anthrax shots and 300 malaria pills left me making a few mistakes. I like the way you led the reader to the surprise ending. Thank you for sharing your poetry.

LOVE the strength and power of your words as you invoke ancient wisdom. Great piece! With all my heart dear poet!

[Call_Me_Miss_Imperfect]

This is good and I imagined the movie "The Hulk" throughout the whole piece. It was outstanding and the font and sizing of the words were excellent too! The imagery I have to agree was amazing and well thought out. Well done :)

Why do I picture some professional wrestler screaming into a microphone in the center of the ring? *giggle* Some great imagery in this, and the last line is fantastic. I love that you posted it on Rob Halford's birthday.

or call your thunder,
it will only make him stronger..........
