Bombs Away

We are the sun we own the moon

They stand in line with me

Beside me always I'm beside you

There is not a front to this line

Battlefield drawn boxed in the sand

Turn after turn we swim with your hands

I am the one! says every man on

I am the one, bombs away, and away

Do you have my religion?

Do you have what it takes?

To swim with all manner of man

You'll disolve into aether

Changing the minds with a million crimes

God can't even justify me and god still waits

For my apology

But instead, all for him, I keep filling out this eulogy

Of hot shots and dead babies

Shattered lands and broken dreams

Entire generations enslaved at the whim of a shapeless tyrant

    Called ignorance

  Called delusion so vile, called ubiqutious

Called denial, called sky kindgom... called deferred life

For my perpetual strife I drown in everything you lack

From a position of power I won't run from you

No man achieved the moon without coming after the sun

And I will be the son of God, of myself I am the one

The one who never runs, we got a religion

Called you aint right

Here comes my Sons motha fuckers!

We burn! WE burn all! we all will... BURN!

It's together mother f****r, that we become the Sun

Powerful and true words.
"Of hot shots and dead babies
Shattered lands and broken dreams
Entire generations enslaved at the whim of a shapeless tyrant

I went to Africa for President Clinton. Medical and water/food teams to save a few. No-one cared about the dead babies. Today babies dying in Flint. World had never changed. Rich man seeking more wealth and forgetting the enslaved workers working for bare minimum. Hell will be filled with greedy men and foolish leaders. You made your point. A outstanding poem. Need to be posted in more places.

Thank you. I do appreciate you taking the time.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

Stellar lines here. I am drawn to a poem capable of a gut punch and this one does just that. Shallow water is more deadly than the abyss.

[Davidgeo]

"Shallow water is more deadly than the abyss. " You filthy animal... yes..., no one really tries for the meaning in a few words, or if they do they f**k it up so bad I can't even tell. I think if you are hardened to the pressures and solitary struggles of the abyss... you are safe, very very very safe. To sit and sharpen both tooth and claw... then, well, I don't sharpen things for no reason... do you? Attack the shallows... I am the danger, so are you... just not like me.

[TL Boehm]

I've never considered myself dangerous. I have some opportunistic coyote tendencies and residual Viking DNA. But as a human and a writer - I'm a middle aged paunchy wannabe - I do have claws and fangs but I'm mostly bark and slobber. I write a plethora of what I know in my tiny mind and most of what I know - if not abyss adjacent - has been alarmingly unpleasant. Maybe you're correct and I skeletize tiny creatures

[TL Boehm]

Continued - in the shallows before they have opportunity to molt into something that could eat me? Not dangerous. Just cowardly

[Davidgeo]

If you must

[thecavaliar]

Plenty of room in heaven then, doesn't everyone. :)

[Davidgeo]

Don't fill your trousers on my account now baby doll...

[thecavaliar]

I don't think we deserve to be here. God will punish us all in the end.

[Davidgeo]

You are going to hell because you masturbate.

[andrew mitchell]

A power write on how man has progressed!!!!!

[Davidgeo]

It's a long dance... progress may or may not be a part of that.

[Davidgeo]

Though, we are climbing mountains these days... however you want to take that.

[andrew mitchell]

I was being sarcastic on man's progress, we are such a destructive race! like amazon ants!

[Davidgeo]

No, no, no sir.... you reference the great Bullet Ant if you want to get all ant violent with it. We are specific here.... pain is purifying, but not if you're confused.

[boblakin]

I care, just can't be bothered any longer to do anything about it.

How about you, eve done anything about anything, or do you just spout s**t?

[Davidgeo]

Awww.... he's mad. Ha. I've done my far share of things... I'm doing something right now by writing the way I do. Unlike you I'm not sticking my head in the sand pretending to be ineffectual, maybe you are ineffectual. "You care but you can't be bothered..." , I put you at 45-50 and that ain't as old as it used to be. You are not good at this game. Intellectual trolling is not as easy as it looks bob... don't quite your day job, bob.

[Davidgeo]

Oh yeah, I forgot to call you 'son'...... I like to condescend people too. Bob.

[boblakin]

The world is what we've made it son.

[Davidgeo]

" The world is what we've made it son. " - you still aren't understand what I'm saying but that's okay. You said this -- "and my a*s is grass, so who gives a s**t." then you say this not but a few minutes later - "Oh, and I care alright." So... you're kind of full of s**t.

And I'd be willing to bet we are very close in age, son. I think only one of us thinks they are old though (you).

[boblakin]

Folk are fond of saying it's a fucked up world; I say, nothing wrong with the world, it's just the way we f**k with it.

Anyway, only another thirty or so years to go, (mean averages and all that,) and my a*s is grass, so who gives a s**t.

[Davidgeo]

We are the world, we are not separate from it.

Witty but ultimately meaningless.... but you "sound" so smart? But why would you care? not like 30 years is a long time (sarcasm). You suck dude. And don't give me that bullshit "i'm old so 30 years is nothing to me".... that's bullshit... 30 years is long for anyone.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

[brianborgan]

I've got time a plenty, all you've gotta do is stop being an a*****e to decent folk on this site.

Donald Trump huh, only in America...

[Davidgeo]

hhahahahhah.... you think I hate what you're doing? Ha... this is exactly what I'm here for John.

I'm showing everyone how you intimidate people who don't fall in line with you.

[Davidgeo]

Well, you and your buddies and that little clique of disposable teenagers you idiots infect into doing despicable things for you.

[Davidgeo]

I don't even mind telling you directly as this point... you freaks cannot help yourselves... you will come back each and every day I am here with this insane campaign of "justice".... you dudes have some serious emotional issues. It's adorable to me.
