Bloody Words

 

Slippery words sliding through his teeth

Polish the floor beneath our feet

As we tread carefully from the church

The world reels

            And kneels

            And falls.

 

Sharp words cutting, from his lips

Slitting throats that spread the truth

The church must live and they shall die

The pipeline’s laid

            And tankers sail

            And the sky bright blue.

 

A Bush is burning, “I Am,” he screams

Fueled with oil, spirits, and blood

The sky turns black, moon blood-red

Earth is falling

            And falling

            And falling.

 

And all is well…

This one makes me think--what a juxtaposition in life. I hope for a good outcome--no matter what choices are made...in light of religion or not. The writing is cryptic, but seems to address the everyday habits of a person who drinks their sorrow away--a person who has a great wisdom and knowledge--who sees themselves as being incapable of making a substantial change in life, or is oblivious to it because of their excess of consumption.

Religion in general has left such a tangled mess of humanity with so much confusion-well written

Wonderfully written piece.

I sense there is a message here, regarding man, and his need for redemption, not necessarily a church thing.

Cheers,
Dan

The church (all denominations) and religion is in a massive tangle...as portrayed here in your photo where the cross is tangled but seeing its way to the front of the maze where generations of Christian fathers have buried religion with lies and deception...Bloody lies is a sanctuary to toss off a few thorns no doubt leaving blood on the pulpit and the little girls and boys underpants...this has cross-over prophecy also written in it, the recent oil mess and the volcano in Iceland, the flood in Nashville...it's the thousand-year cycle, yes, earth is falling, falling, but she always springs back, and the church does need to die to be reborn back into something of value and pristine discernment of ancient Christianity "borrowed" from the Pagans...inspirational in the way of Light, Scolding in its ecclesiastical capacity, a very revealing scroll of poetry, Dayvid. Oil is all about religion, fighting over a pipeline of money in foreign lands...Osama bin Laden and Sadaam Hussein's evil plot...

Love 'n Stuff,
Sage

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
