Underhand

Underhand

Red is Red

and Jack is Jack,

Frieda has no time

nor space to expand.

An Archangel reflects your guilt

as he watches your black heart.

But the truth,

without doubt,

is that you are the only one

who has sold his soul and

who dances with the devil.

I am shocked that you know this song. This is one of my favorite rap/hip hop songs. When you listen to the words it is chilling and profound. Impressive read and write....and listen. Thanks for sharing.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I am diverse. Thank you Keely.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Your express a dark and devious dilemma, arhhhhh!!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha ha, Thank you Sheema!

I seem to have missed out on some underhanded, poor-spirited, coyote yipping.... hmmm, that wasn't fair... coyotes trailing the sounds of yipping as they come up from the river and cross into the desert in the middle of the night are much maligned by my remark.. scratch it... we won't compare these stealthy slanderers to any animal except perhaps a hyena... now those are truly loathsome creatures... hope this unpleasantness has dies away by now

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks SW. Nice to see you back. There have been several casualties and the aggressor marches on.

[KAOlmsted]

Jeez. Is this stuff still going on? Well, at least it makes for good poetry ;-) I like that bit about Frieda...so damn true, bless her heart...Good one, John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Well when he who cannot be named pops up to tell everyone we are all bad and he is a saint it is hard not to react. This was though a fun write.

[KAOlmsted]

Hm...this makes me...think...uh-oh ;-) I'd say "my pleasure" but it occurs to me you didn't thanks me. No worries. My pleasure anyway ;-)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh my anger at him getting away with such destruction made me less than gracious. Sorry and I should have said thank you Kimmer!

[Archangel Gabriel]

Ha a nice aclimatation to a deception!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Angel

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Sorry 'gab'

[Kristin Lee]

My oh my...the bitter tinged words are flying like wild fire tonight! lol. I don't know the back story and don't want to know. But this piece as its stands is feisty. I like feisty :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Kirstin. I can do 'feisty' when called to lol!

[Leslie Philibert]

This seems to involve some conflict I don`t ( again ) understand.
I am interested in literature.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

There are many poems in literature bases upon conflict Leslie. This is more a bit of fun and a response to what the fellow concerned posted. Not the agressor merely a respondant.

For once im first before jack and Frieda. Ha....

Seriously I joined here months after Frieda and this accuser knows damn well I'm not her. Personally this is just a new ploy....no doubt for the benefit of those who question the veracity of the "gang of five" accusation. So since that didn't work let's claim his "attackers" are one or two people using multiple accounts. You know what they say about guilty minds. They may infer their own crimes on others as a way to deny their behaviour. Sad but true....

[John Alexander McFadyen]

True, so true. Some people do have more than one account but only SOME people such as our friend use these for underhand matters.

[redflutterby]

Oh I'm sure many here do. My problem is with someone screaming that two completely different female writers on here are the same..especially when they do so on poetry reviews of writers who have kindly stayed out of the crap here. And they do so after using a fake account to try and contact me to tell me I'm supposedly a poser account. Whatever.... Like I say play games with Red and you will eventually get burned.

Anyway....you said it like it is John. If the accusations against me continue I'll be saying it...and its not going to be pretty. Sort of like the "dead, red tide" I am. Oh nothing gets by me.. Lol...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Good on ya lass. But go tell Charlie. He sure kicked my butt!

[Frieda P]

....and John tells it like it is! I could dance to it, very nice, few words that screams volumes!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Freida. Sometimes brevity is good.

[Frieda P]

Any way you go about it, the long route, or the shortcut, it still all comes down to the truth, my pleasure John.

[Jack...]

Jealousy always leads us down dark paths and onto the dance floor of no return. Very cool John.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Jack but not on his dance floor.
