skull fuck ii
I will tear you away from comfort
I will pull life from you
uprooted in the cage
blinded by rags
mouth gagged
cross carved into your chest
where is your God now
he has not forsaken you
he's just not coming
I burned his home
he never came to blow out the flames
I burned his book
he never sought vengence
I slaughtered you
he never came to protect you
you looked to the sky
he never showed his face
you prayed your salvation
but he's not coming
you are not saved from anything
no one is in control
you are as lost as me
but I'm the one holding your throat
I will pull life from you
uprooted in the cage
blinded by rags
mouth gagged
cross carved into your chest
where is your God now
he has not forsaken you
he's just not coming
I burned his home
he never came to blow out the flames
I burned his book
he never sought vengence
I slaughtered you
he never came to protect you
you looked to the sky
he never showed his face
you prayed your salvation
but he's not coming
you are not saved from anything
no one is in control
you are as lost as me
but I'm the one holding your throat

great poem full of anger and despair. reflects majority of people who blame God for whatever happens with them. two last lines put everything together quite nicely: at the end of the day, all of us are human beings, but the "winners" are "holding throats" of others :)

thanks so much for your support and kind words, darlin.. much appreciated.. yeah I realize how important it is to get those last lines just right to bring the whole piece together and really give the reader something to feel/remember/experience.. and I think I've really gotten the hang of as I've gone along in my quest with words over the years.. keep reading.. I'll keep writing.. cheers!!

It's a great poem. I think it depicts the common habit of blaming the heavens in a better way. And when people go toe-to-toe or when you've been fucked over or fucked someone else over, at the end of the day, it really is just the choker and the choked.

thx.. the choker and the choked.. hm interesting way of putting it.. I think there must be gray areas in there too somewhere.. because no ones totally black/bad/choker or white/good/weak/choked.. no ones balanced completely ya know we all have both tendencies in us as well as middle ground.. thanks for the read and compliment! cheers!!
