A B*****d, An Egomaniac And The Heretic

A B*****d, An Egomaniac And The Heretic

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

The moon is a b*****d that claims

The children of the night

Are not his disgrace,

Saying they are nothing more

Then runaways without plight.

There is no mercy in his smile

For he is a product

Of his own legacy.

 

The sun is an egomaniac that sees

The world as his creation

Because he can be seen

Through heaven’s presence.

Taking credit for life

That was here before the big bang

And denying claims of fake tans.

 

The sky is the heretic that leads

Gives them both

A false sense of privilege

Because he himself is misguided

And believes that his way

Is as clear as a cloudy day.

This is really different! I had to read it twice to decide how I even wanted to think about it. I'm not sure I'm following every twist & turn, but I get a strong overall sense of where your message fits in the universe these days. Trying not to interpret everything as if a certain narcissist is central, so I tried to keep my perspective more on a universal scheme, as if this would be the view of the planetary knowingness in contrast to our sad little human perspectives. I like the way this makes a person think instead of falling along the predictable lines of disagreement in our country & our world (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Than you so much for such an intellectual deciphering of my poem. Love what you had to say.
A new world my friend. If the Moon, Sun and the Sky could speak. I feel they would be disappointed in us. I liked how you defined each one. A amazing poem Dale. I liked this one.

A very interesting series of observation, Dale. 'Could add far more than diplomacy allows! Filthy air hovering our planet. needs a be spun til the so-called powers-that-be full into lthat ever ending void of..whatever! Witty UN-wise, '. .. believes that his way ~ Is as clear as a cloudy day.'

Thank you Emma for sharing some intellectual insight from my poem.
A perfectly realistic conveyance of terror with power and failure to conduct ones self emotionally or indeed with dignity, an interesting piece that demands to be re-read, the one thing I did find was the absence of a female equivalent within the subject or indeed character, I wonder was this purposeful or mere unknowing, bravo, great read.

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
