Hell Of A Thought

  

Crash into me

Cause the damage

Is already done

Beneath the weight

Of my spiritual hammer.

 

Cut me up

For in many pieces

I already am,

Sliced for entertainment,

Stitched up for amusement.

 

Throw me up

Since the bowels of hell

Beat you to it,

Sent here to suffer for

The consequences you render.

   

Author's Note

No worries this is actually more of a philosophical notion then that of personal feelings.

Sadly, I understand where this notion comes from. We are not actors, though we try to be. We are, in all reality, nothing more than walking reactions. We are reactors. Every action is but a reaction to a previous action taking place before it. Some of us, apparently react in a way that is to be found entertaining. For we are repeatedly requested to perform that action over and over. Unfortunately, some reactions are very taxing on the heart, leading to a premature breakdown of the glucose pumping station. A costly repair, to say the least. But low and behold! After the repairs are made or a temporary patch is in place, here comes the request for an encore! And we call ourselves human? Or is being human really such a noble stature, after all?
Dale, you say an existence of wealth in your words here. They are profound on the highest level. The true meaning of what you are saying will be lost in most of those who read this. Very deep meanings that do not show on the surface. A most Excellent write.

Well expressed in my humble opinion :)
I think there is deep meaning in these few lines,
and seems mankind can be summed up by this expression.
That's rather unfortunate.

Very well written. This is so true to the way we all feel at times. Excellent job.

True or not! This was one heck of a write!!! My this brought me into the bowls of hell, where i have been many times, and made me smeel the stench so real.. Your words delt the cards straight up, for true they were. this was amazing Cowboy! Hey, is there nothing you can't write???? lol

WOW!!

Yeah, ther's definitely a real cloud hovering over this one. I get it sort of a dare to the powers that be to do its worst, because the worst has already been done and nothing else is going to do more damage than has already been done. Ha, just my guess though. Great job on this one.

You know me and my interpts. lol But this is a brilliant writing of life and the cards that we are dealt. The human refuse that was cast out of hell to dwell here and make the best of it. Hopefully learning in the process and not having to return to the pit. Whatever the meaning, your brilliant pen mastered another great work of word art.

wow reading this i felt the power in the words....
you amaze me with all your writings.

i have to agree with the others when i read this:
Sent here to suffer for
The consequences you render.

well done cowboy...

Zang Cowboy, glad this is not true.
Dark, raw, gritty..
Nicely written.
(It is fiction, right?)

whoa~ this is a power-packed piece of writing, sounds like a bit of resentment here as someone

being used and tossed aside~a lot of intense expression in emotions within

`one great write!!

What I wouldn't do to write like you... this is awesome. Few words can describe this poem, but awesome is definitely at the top of the list. These feelings are very well known to me, this poem is one to which I can relate. Definitely a great piece.
