Godly Men

By Rowan

Silver serpents cease your lies,
born of ego words comprise.
Pride parades through streets unknown,
blood and flesh and silent bone.

 

Unjust, untrue, and askew,
discretion forced to make do.
Heart admonished to the side,
path reversed and fate denied.

 

Godly men and holy verse,
sick reprieve, a condemned curse.
Comply, conform, and ignore,
omens meant to rot your core.

 

Chorus of bewilderment,
sing praise of abandonment.
Prostrate disobedience,
ensure my expedience.

 

Love and peace and happiness,
preach Father, Son, and Mindless.
Heaven waits for all except,
Godly men with secrets kept.

    Only the pope knows for sure, and I also never got the triumvirate with the Holy Ghost thingy. Don't see how I've missed you over the past two years - but two ships that pass in the night... Anyways, much enjoyed this piece and I have no argument to offer, to thine own self... Thinks you might like "The Path to Perfection" that I posted at about the same time (stick with it until the last stanza if possible) - Cheers! and welcome back!!

    Loose the horses and let the riders ride! But not the four...

    I think I have a poem about the 4 horsemen. I took a lot of my old stuff down because I let my account expire. May have to put them back up again.
