God's Dinner Plans

Well....

Bleeding and raw from sexual exploits

The world lay sweaty and spent in a heap

Licking the brine from pudgy fingers

Awaiting the next meal of lamb and wine

Not knowing they were God's next meal

Author's Note

Hang in there...

I find it amazing how you create yukky & disgusting sensations in the reader without actually using any yukky or disgusting language!??!! This, to me, is the poster child for well-chosen words, every one! I'm not sure I grasp the intended message and it seems open to interpretation. The world is being plundered & a message of chaos is exactly what we've been handed to feed on (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yeah this one has been interpreted many ways. really its one of my more direct pieces. I was speaking with a friend who is a Christian and he told me his worry was that with all the materialistic, self centered stuff going on in the US today that he envisioned it falling like Rome did. I wrote that a while after we had that conversation. Thanks for the wonderful words Margie!!

I agree, materialism is a curse . . .

it's not the world he would want it to be at this point...
respect, honesty, love...the real kind....all Gone with Wind...
he is going to put the world back to just the Land (like Tara) and the sea...as it was in the very beginning.
and wave goodbye to us.

Great point. I wrote it in a literal sense and have since realized there are so many ways this could be taken. But your review reflects how it was intended. The poem came from a comment that a friend of mine made in which he indicated he was cared of what was going on because he likened it to the Roman Empire. Thanks so much!!!
