This is almost like a rap or spoken word poem. There is a joyous use of sounds and imagery. The effect is modern cubism, kaleidoscopic. It has rhythm and displays your distinctive voice. No one writes poetry like you in FanStory. Thank you for sharing this free verse trip.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Yes, a lot of people get by with murder, and lately, we have seen many who follow those of ISIS and kill without mercy and do themselves commit suicide at times. Or, those sick individuals, or too, those that have Satan's curse who use guns as their alibi to show how low down their souls are to harbor such hate...and engage it, causing so much of this hatred to cause terrible harm to others, and I can only hope they will get punishment in the afterlifr....or what God seems fit for their terrible sins.

The words you used can apply like, whore, hairy, and I think bellies, could possibly refer to wombs?... And some here I think of what they misinterpreted them to what they think they usually mean ...these particular words. And totally have misgraded your poem, they should look these words up and they might learn something. Though, too, I think you should have listed their meanings to clarify the confusion...Anyways, I have always liked Bruce Springsteen and all of his music...And Born in the USA... I can't help think of that song on Independence Day.

God Bless, Reconciled....Caressa_08

    Hey you...-smile-
    thats correct....but there are different kinds of murder. and "deliberate" suffers consequence...it is the "law" since Able.
    yes ....there is One Hope. but "some" have become coldblooded to it. They have no "genuineness" left in them. They wouldn't know how or could ever be sincere enough to humble themselves as sinful. Anyway....-smile- "belies" old English...to "contradict" or make false. hairy is a play on words...but yes I understand. thank you for shining on me. love to you ...Michael

So many unusual messages in this poem, the music and the words along with the picture all go very well together. Wow. One really must take their time to listen and read to gain the message. Is this a bad thing? No; thank you for sharing.

    hey Ginger...-smile-
    yea, I can see that, to me though it's perfectly clear. Truly it s all in my writing from the beginning...ya know when I was born here...-smile-....ah a time ago heaven was "stolen" from me. and I asked Faith to prove it back....basically....in long drawn out experience. I heard the song...and knew I would write for it and whom for...but the day I wrote his brother came to visit, apparently to intimidate me. It motivated a concentrated effort....-smile-....love to you Lady. Michael

Meter readings that aren't accurate are dangerous, be it static, high lines overhead, equipment failure, or local station. Guesswork's no good even if you do hit it. Are you talking about O.J. or O bama?

This is well-written poem but it's hard to understand. I found some of line were powerful that explained your message. This piece makes the reader to reflect on the words.

Happy Writing!

    Hi Lynn...-smile-
    yes I suppose. its very personal and eternally important. Some suppose they're "more" then um Gods love for David and gamble consequence wont catch them. Even after a lifetime of witness. Strange how we deceive ourselves. "there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end therein is death" ...God said. anyway, thanks. love to you ....Michael

I like the strong social message of this poem that is relevant to the pulse of the times with the current terror threat that America is facing right now. Thanks for sharing.

There is a saying I heard back when I was in my twenties; "The Devil pays in counterfeit money." Your poem reminded me of it. This is very well written with a smooth flow of word, making for a very good read.

Like you, I much prefer Christ's edict of mercy not judgement, but we all need to accept that gift of absolution. Yes, but unfortunately man wants to remain judge and juror, to divert attention from his and our own wrongdoing, well done Michael, excellent piece of poetic art, it's almost rhyme and rhythm, beautifully, one of your best, in my opinion, well done, blessings, Roy
