douglas Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The Season of the SnakeIt is the season of the living deadA time when the snake bites twiceAnd human flesh starts paying its priceThis is the time of the rancid deltaA time when the green frog burps outIts sticky venomAnd transforms itself into a dark sorcererI find that my cheek doesn’t fit into the tree trunkAnymore because it can see The ancient curse pouring out upon this earthNature has become angryShe has turned her noble headAgainst humanityIt is the season of the universal stained heartAnd this time it’s ripping quantum time apartStanding upon Idolatry’s shoresPoking fun at truth and severing the rootsSo that our world no longer seesA subtle separation has begunBlind men committing crimesThat cannot be undoneThis is the moment of the Bleeding EyeballThe ultimate fall of manAnd angels relinquish their powerAnd move in caravans across the bleakScarred desertToward the Bleeding SoulWhose secrets although so close Shall now remain untoldThis New Age is aging and losing its momentumGiving way to scorn and liesWhich flow out from rotten institutions Temples of the dead societyOf manThe transient path of carnal greedAnd vacuous solutions Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

Tinker Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi Douglas, this is so current and scary. Not a feel good poem but as usual, well written. "It is the season of the universal stained heart" True and beautifully stated.~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
