~Save Yourself~

Music prompt~ Save Me-Dave Matthews

Don't drink the kool-aid

   there's blood in the water

the division doesn't add up

    it's not a religion

 no need to en-mass

    choking down false witnesses

genuflecting to gods inquisitions

follow in the footpath of another

and you'll stumble as

    we all fall down, save yourself

before we're all far too gone, 

   direct me to the wine deep in the ground

vines of self verity and wisdom

      step into the light, save me, save yourself

 If you don't due the offering plate

   your legs will work just the same without strings

 

         save me from the faith of blind men talking

        to dance amongt the ashes anointed with poetry

"save me from the faith of blind men talking
to dance amongt the ashes anointed with poetry"
I like your thoughts and wisdom. Better to walk alone than follow the cattle to slaughter. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

the first two lines and the last two lines are like sonic BOOMS going off in my mind. They are that strong. I almost typed the "D" word...sheesh.
ashes anointed with poetry...ho lee cow. That's good.
