Creation's Opposite

Creation's Opposite

A Poem by David P. Eckert
"

Poking fun at competitive shopping

"

 

Creation’s Opposite

 

“The opposite of war is not peace, it’s creation,”

–Jonathan Larsen, Rent

 

Aveh’s neck cords

bulge crimson,

teeth bared in challenge;

blind with rage,

the thrill of the kill,

his black booted foot

bears down

on his foe’s naked spine.

 

“I’ll break you”

he screams and spits,

grasping the last Wii

aloft in blood

splattered fingers,

triumph

joining rage

in the lines of his face.

Ah, yes, the holiday shoppers mentality, kill or be killed to get the last of anything. I had to laugh on this one, great depiction of human nature when it comes to material things. Love it!

LOL talk about trying to get a Wii!!! That's why I don't go shopping during the holidays, I buy through out the year. Really funny, I hope people can see the humor in this! This is the "Bomb"
of Christmas humor.
