Feast for the Beast

Feast for the Beast

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Feast for the Beast
love
is becoming a side dish
less prevalent
the meal is losing its meaning
we are too saturated with
the main entree
hate

dear Jacob... it is important to nourish our mind and soul.
During these treacherous times, we can encourage others to be kind
and help others to "Shine". Hate is Hell and we need to put out the Fire.
It seems impossible; however, there may be more Water in our World than
we realize to extinguish the flames of Hate. You always bring us to our knees with
visions of exactly how Bad our World has become. Many of the young people think it is a
phase that will go away; however it is Scary to us older and wiser folks. What can we possibly do or say?
The Spirit of the Young People can be Saved. hopefully, Pat

Short,sad and puzzling and beautiful at the same time.
I agree with you. We no more can enjoy the sweet taste of love and life. We are in hurry for everything and although technology has saved us a lot of time, we waste more and more time than ever.
Salute to you sir

Does seem like there is a lot of hate on the plate. Perhaps fasting isn't such a bad idea after all.

Yes you are right Jacob. Hate stealing the good from our world. Powerful and worthwhile words shared my friend.

Always welcome.
very much agree and enjoy the sentiment you expressing here J.
one thought: I wonder how you chose "we"? to my ears the sense of commonality to the emotion might be better captured through "being" as a more open blanket to wrap senses in

because "we" are the ones too saturated...we are the ones filled with hate.
But I like the su.. read more
I think we should all be concerned where this will end when there is so much wealth that is on the side of power.
