Don't Bless

By Alchemist

Don't you bless a single one
With a malice filled gun
Star spangled eyes for revenge
And a bastard son
A pimps hand
With dominance over funds
And prominence over the promise
Of providence and love

Don't you bless a single one
Who prospects for blood
A diamond soulmate
And a platinum tailsman of good
Unfathomable, untouchable
Unspeakable under black hood
Perpetrated in broad daylight
Like the coquencedental
skirmishes of critters in woods

Don't you bless a single one
That will forsake in gods name
bless and claim to heal
Tourniquets for techniques that kill
A propetuated Portrait
Of a musty pirates port
But with more exstravigent garments
And glitzy silver courts

In a snakes garden
Trust dogs to keep it real
So I beg you please
Any almighty ones
Don't you bless a single one

  • A former member wrote: Very powerful emotions here, and written with a hand of steel and shrapnel in your gaze. You can rest assured, he who chooses to live the life of the gun, the perpetrator, the false prophet can only bring about his own doom. It is we who choose our fates, but the feeling here is not the fates but your curse upon them, damning them to be cast from blessing's touch. It feels as if something happened in the days this poem was written to make you cry out your angst against them, something that triggered this. ... All that having been said, I once walked the way of the gun, and if not for the little blessings along the way leading me to question my life I might still be there this day. But, as I said, that's not the premise of this, rather, your own feelings, which are most worthy, Poetsoul.
