Thumbing through the pages of the book of lifeA Poem by SpokenWordInspired by the many conversations with poetic friends on this site
Pages turn silently
as sand drains through glass light reflects through clarity into pieces shared by reality and he bends on hands and knees with fingers bleeding he tries to repair the twine that has unwind unraveled time within only his mind he sees the reflection of a broken spirit trampled by the dirty feet of men who sleep in white houses and work on capital hills where the market bull ruled the day and sinners played at night spinning love into lust upon the back of lies woven from the fragments of man's character now diluted by principalities in high places Santa Clause with a dirty white beard and fingers dipped in green ink told fables of distant promises to calm the masses from seeing reality of life and death.... "PEACE" whispers the angel into the ear of the man who now plays with his blood trying to turn it from life giving into magic to heal the earth a genius in his own right he compiles formulas that should reverse time bringing life back into our soil return vibrant blues into the gray sky extract the poison from water returning it to clarity once again a healing power rebirth of trees to give us fresh oxygen but the Angels speaks "Why do you wast the time you have left?" and the man cries burning tears into his scared hands his hurt mixes with the hard clay of the earth "My children, our future, my God! What have we done?" with an angelic smile the angel sits by the side of the last man on earth to comfort him as the truth now comes to light "Everything has a beginning and an end says, the Alpha and Omega" and the angel takes his hand to lead him home returned to the dust where he once came from © 2011 SpokenWordFeatured Review
