Silenced


Letting loose the word of God
Would just not make
The word there take
Root, though some were awed

In such soil there is no flow
How very Zen
It might have been
To see such great trees grow

Utterances officially unsanctioned
Were punished hard
And some were barred
And the peasantry was anxious

Indeed, despite their good intentions
The people feared
And most were jeered
As they sought their circumventions

Existential threat to the stability
Of those in power
It was not the hour
Of popular tranquility

The messengers meant all the best
But in the end
Out with the wind
They went, with all the rest

The Conquest


Muralists depict you
The Aryan brotherhood
None could e'er restrict you
And your false concepts of good

Natural disaster!
Your progress for its sake
The sake of growth, the master
Of every color's fate

Throw it all to wolves
Lose scarce a minute spent
The markets are all bulls
But our souls to hellward rent

Every single construct
Would have arrived anyway
But we hurried, harried, awestruck
In order to seal the day

Development in order
Is a coin from Nature's purse
Assault at every border
Has made the planet worse

Nary a one may understand
The words here I have written
Truth be scarce in this sad land
But with it, I am smitten

The alluring and radiant light
Fades into a pastel twilight
Culminating in an achromatic night
Such is our lives
Born of the womb
A fresh soul arrives
A newborn in bloom
Innocence intact
Unabated potential
Dreams to enact
Hope was existential
But alas, we pass our prepubescence
Absorb the realities of our adolescence
Knowledge is the essence of senescence
Innocence is lost
Life gets complex
The hopes we exhaust
Dreams we forget
Cynical as we age
Accept how it goes
The world is a stage
In need of repose
Old and gray we age in latter days
Our mind's an antique we self-appraise
Waiting for death with compounding malaise
The roads we pave
The stones we turn
From cradle to grave
The lessons we learn
The friends we make
The lines we write
They are ours to take
Back to the starlight :mushroom2:

Awesome :mushroom2: Sometimes I'll take some of my poetry and compose some music to go with it. Been looking for a  drummer to get a new band started.

The beauty of a leaf
Can be seen in awe
Just as a beautiful reef
So open the door
And open your eyes
There's so much more
Than religious lies
Look at a cell
If you want what's true
Only you can tell
The sky is blue
I don't mean to harm
Or change who you are
But in seek of charm
Science doesn't go too far


--------------------
I am whatever Darwin needs me to be.

I feel trapped in an abysmal existence
No control, my soul weeps in the distance
I'm just an observer
Out here in the dark
Departed of my fervor
Raped of my creative spark...

Drifting away
Further and further
As my spirit decays
In a million subtle ways

Nothing makes sense
Tomorrow is uncertain
We all build a fence
And hide behind the curtain
So we don't have to see
All those who are hurting
Ignorance is bliss,
Bliss is disconcerting

Alone in my woes
'Cause that's the path I chose
I wallow in dismay,
I wouldn't have it any other way

Life is what you make it
Most are content to fake it
Oblivion awaits us all
Waiting for us to fall...
Will you get back up?
Or are you just going to take it?

For even if our fate is grim
The future, so gray and dim
We must find that spark
To ignite the torch within
And never again, give in :mushroom2:

I feel as though my mind is dual
With thoughts abroad and feelings split
With all this life it's oh so cruel
So sometimes I ask if this is it

The world we live in is made of matter
It's one of water, sand and soil
A fine place for a mad hatter
For all our efforts and all our toil
Our mother nature will not forgive us
It wrecks and heaves with storms so strong
And takes us out without a fuss

Even though our will is strong
It takes a toll to see her wrath
Though we've known all along
That mother nature has no path

The cells that divide and keep us alive
Have been around for many years
If all they do is help us thrive
Then why the need to shed those tears

I do not know what the future holds
And I do not know why nature is
As time goes on and ever folds
It seems to me that this is it

I am whatever Darwin needs me to be.

I don't know if this has been posted already but I really liked this one by user MagicalOrangutan:
Quote:


On the ground you lay, with your dogs you pray, at a neon hieroglyph sky you gaze
Hugging your mind, praying to survive, feeling the love of the hieroglyphs in the sky
We all need more love, and mainly less hate
Hate is the blind that covers the heart's eye
That makes the heart's eye cry
Locked deep away in the skies of our minds
It's all in the mind

Actium


  In time we hate that which we often fear.
                                                                                Antony and Cleopatra




Open the sea lanes!
Caesar draws near!
Agrippa the Commander
Slices the Mediterranean

Ptolemy weeps in his cradle
As the crash and sweep of battle
Begins to rage

Ionia trembles
As a young Augustus primes fate
Agrippa moving the legions around
Like chess pieces and chaff

Antonius and his bride
Engaged but outmaneuvered
Drawing a horseshoe in latter battle
Their escape was sealed

The battle won, an Emperor crowned
By and by
The happy vibrations of Pax Augusta a faint early tremor
As the fugitives seek their lives
And lose them honorably

A rival Antony, and any other
To be quashed with prejudice
So that we draw near to heat
Which burns in fear, and scalds in threat

History is broad gossip
Yet Caesar is no trifle
Imperator and princeps

A dictator; benevolent, brutal, fearful, confident
Emperor
Does he do good after Actium, or ill?

A blissful desolation
The wind kisses me through the trees
Piercing, fragrant breeze
Sweeps my weary soul off its feet
The Earth keeps me grounded
In the sky resides my dreams
Sustained by the clouds that bleed

My love resonates in the sunbeams
My heart murmurs through the storm
The fire beside me burns
Crackles and keeps me warm
The forest sings its ancient song
A symbiotic harmony
Great harmonoeus symphany
Oblivious to our love
It only knows the seasons
As it dances around the sun
No rhyme or reason
It just is
And it just does

Night sleeps through the black architecture of unconsciousness
My eyelids close on the funeral of the day
Dreams blister and crackle in the fires of its pyre
I wish it well

The morning awakens with two eyes
The night has spoken through the hours
I hope this day is worth remembering
I hope it's nothing like yesterday's eulogy

Paramount to learn, memories to burn
Same people, same streets
Nothing to say it can't be different
With a new glance

Even the coffee


--------------------
Hostile humankind
Can't you see you're fucking blind?

Receiver

Grand mirror, that verdure made expanse, seeks an eye,
Which it will rent tonight; this entrance! Stare awry;
Honed image which dances there within; I shorn ideals,
Wrought to fires' design, flame ignites clear of mind;
Bend into those lines of thine beauty, though unsound;
Shame 'twill be those lines pure- thou reside therein, unbound.


Bold Statements Through A Sickness Of Cold...

the story the wheel told
rolling down the hill,
axiom of choices,
but a choice once fullfilled,
e'er flowing joyous
the story told by
wheel rolling down the hill

So careless is our kind in its perilous design,
I struggle to define the jungle we've been assigned...
Defeated and resigned,
Cheated and made blind
Confused and silenced
Through the use of violence,
Raped of our self-reliance
Shaped by evil tyrants
We've become a fucking virus
That's succumb to amoral giants

A hidden hand that has spanned across the land
Has taken any semblance of hope
So we smoke dope to cope
And walk this tightrope on a downward slope
Into oblivion...

This self-induced hell on Earth
We've been cursed with since our birth
Increases the dearth of our own mirth and
Decreases our self-worth as we get served
that which we wholly deserve...

How can we hold our heads up high when
We've bought into the lies and sought
Our own demise as we mute the cries
Of millions of children that die
Because they lack the basic supplies
That are needed to survive and thrive...

Don't act surprised or apologize,
It was televised into your eyes
For all of our fucking lives...

How fucking dare we call ourselves civilized...

This world is a sad abode and not a home
I can condone for all it's shown
And all I've known as I've roamed
Around these catacombs that crumble
Like the stones of Rome and tumble
Into the great unknown, our fate is already sewn,
The hate is too much to atone...

I'm sickened as the madness thickens
And stricken with a sadness
I can't relinquish as we continue to
Extinguish life until it's finished
And all hope is utterly diminished...

Hanging from a rope seem so instinctive...

There is no chance for peace...
The wars will never cease...
No chance for compromise...
As fire rains from the skies...
There is no future here...
No God to show us care...
The system's beyond repair...
So accept the despair...
The volatile atmosphere...
You know the end is near...
There is no future here...

:mushroom2:
