The fly on the wall
Listens intently to the sermon on the mount
The king of kings sits
Upon his throne of mud
The goddess sprinkles embryos
Between the sheets at night
The buddha sage and silent
Rests inside the treetops
Thor is caught in between
The wrong and right of love
The butterfly is queen
And beautiful to the touch
Maniacs and madmen are watching
The floods rumble loose the cannons
Ares without a thought
Casts out stones of gold
The gladiator stumbles
In the field of blood
Broken-hearted sirens
Mumble tears of joy
The almighty moves
Heaven and earth to teach the stars
And the nightingale sings
A lullaby that dreams
Listens intently to the sermon on the mount
The king of kings sits
Upon his throne of mud
The goddess sprinkles embryos
Between the sheets at night
The buddha sage and silent
Rests inside the treetops
Thor is caught in between
The wrong and right of love
The butterfly is queen
And beautiful to the touch
Maniacs and madmen are watching
The floods rumble loose the cannons
Ares without a thought
Casts out stones of gold
The gladiator stumbles
In the field of blood
Broken-hearted sirens
Mumble tears of joy
The almighty moves
Heaven and earth to teach the stars
And the nightingale sings
A lullaby that dreams

Re: Rumours
Fri, October 29, 2004 - 4:41 PMYou are welcome. War is hell. I did not realize it when I started writing, but I found myself going in that direction. Here is one that was more intentional. War protest poem, that is.
Immune
“Have we touched?”
-Dorothy Parker
Untouched by war
A cut that bleeds
Dries
And maims all the innocent
The killing fields widen
Laws brokered, sealed
Again, Fathers and Sons
Divided
Friend and foe alike have beliefs akin
Yet fight to the death
To have their own
Be King
Won’t pretend to understand
The lies are won or lost
In the silence of the dawn
Pain immune
Can not heal -
