Magic Hour

Magic Hour

A Poem by Steve Thompson

 

Abra Kadabra
 
Do you want to hear a magician chatter?
My greatest trick is to make words appear out of matter,
I could also list seven reasons abc… why family doesn’t matter,
How just words alone can get society caught under my fly swapper and than splatter
You want an example,
Well everyone come and gather.
 
Let me tell you a secret,
If I talked loud enough I could make a religion through my quotes,
And tell them to follow certain patterns,
I just need to rephrase all my words claim there’s meaning,
Call them scriptures and send them through earlobes like cannon blasters.
Play politics and tell others that those profits are like matches,
Minor smoke alarm factors,
And inflame them with the fear of a hell,
Tell them of a place with mile long of fiery pastures.
 
 
All my words would be sinfully simple,
Talk fast, remain stubborn to reason,
All the same and similar to pimp laws,
Once I have there mind I could do anything,
I could probably convince a woman to go bold,
Then tell her to do an 8ball on a 9iron,
With twins watching, filming and masturbating,
One name Fred, the other Byron,
While being surrounded by untamed lions,
With two dozen Iraqi soldiers armed with M-16s,
Which in 23 seconds will start firing.
 
And the scary thing,
The scary thing is ….I am not  lying.  
 
All in all it’s all in the glory for the lord,
It’s what the devil does when he is bored.

"It's what the devil does when he is bored."
Having grown up amidst preachers and priests, I have to say that nothing encases this poem or the reality of religion so much as the ending line. There is a blurry line smudged between religion and cult that most people cannot see for one reason or another, usually it's simply a matter of societal prejudice. When we can finally step away and view the entirety of the topic, we can see that there really is no difference between the two and that all religions are affairs of mass manipulation.
This is outstanding work, my friend, and one that should make you proud.

I think you capture on the differences between religion and spirituality. All points are true and flow like a preacher preaching from atop the mountan top. Great write.

Masterful work Mr.Spade I too believe that activities like those mentioned above are how the devil passes the time I would like to pose a question to you sir........Are you a believer or a detractor of religion and all the promises made by it?

Steve...I'm speechless. I should think you a cocky b*****d, but I find myself in agreement with most, if not all, of your ridiculous statements. Where does it come from? Lend me some of your brains? Is it the Kools...cuz I could start smoking Kools...yah right.
Anyway,

this:
I could probably convince a woman to go bold,
Then tell her to do an 8ball on a 9iron,
With twins watching, filming and masturbating,
One name Fred, the other Byron,
While being surrounded by untamed lions,
With two dozen Iraqi soldiers armed with M-16s,
Which in 23 seconds will start firing.

was f*****g sexy.
and yes,

Keep on keepin' on,

tomorrow?
