This is powerful and thought provoking. Uniquely voiced and very effective use of enjambement for dramatic pause, sculpting your phrasing. Also, dramatic use of repetition.

These lines are shocking and wonderful-

I will kill your sons and daughters,
first with my words:
then with my love.

Stunning presentation.

Warmly, rd

I have read the Biblical accounts of how God's great day of vengeance will destroy possible millions of people who refuse to change their ways. Beware people ... Providence is coming.
Great piece of poetic work.

I wasn't sure what this was about, but I knew it was well written. I looked at the other reviews and saw your comment about it being about Hitler. Now I understand the sinister tone. I will kill your sons and daughters, first with my words: then with my love. Superbly chosen words. You remind us how it all started with stirring speeches. Scary stuff.

This is a deep and thought provoking piece, expressed beautifully. You have captured something intangible and illusive with your words bicpen. I enjoyed the read very much. Thank you for sharing. Cheers, Diane.

Hi Bicpen,

I do remember you. But I didn't know you were bought with silken locks and rode a white horse. Last time you were here you were very dark and red.

[Can't say I like these lines.]
I will kill your sons and daughters,
first with my words:
then with my love.

Short, but not particularly sweet.

    Maybe you'd like to take a look at rushingwaters reply, have a nice day. Maybe you'll understand the lines better...
reply by donaldww on 12-Aug-2012
    As much as I appreciate your kind suggestion, I would rather take the meaning straight from your poem, rather than getting it from a commentary.

    Otherwise, why bother with poetry? May as well just read commentaries.

    Thanks.

    ...my grandfather was in a Lancaster Bomber and shot down by them...my grandfather and his crew were not even meant to be flying that day...how's that for a stroke of providence!

Very nice! I really like the following:

I will kill your sons and daughters,
first with my words:
then with my love.

Poem has somewhat of a sinister feel. Levels of meaning. Nice form, nice cadence and pace.

    Oh... then it's not providence which
    keeps killing every one that I buy
    and put in the tank... you mean they
    actually need to eat, too?
    Yeah, we all wanna be trees...
    maybe next life! :)

Well Bic you really made quite a stir with this one. Done in free verse, it is a beauty for sure. Remember me. I am providence. I am glad to hear you are not for sale.

This is an interesting offering bicpen, and I'm sure it will make for many an interesting review, some will remember and some won't want to because then they would have to change course. Excellent thought provoking Poem friend!
