The Ghost Speaks by krystophyr(m): 8:08pm On Aug 16, 2013 |
[Word help: Booze - alcohol, hot, ogogoro, oti, "33". ![]() Psychedelic- having to do with art (singing, writing, drawing, etc.) by someone high on alcohol, dope, cocaine, or any psychoactive substance. ![]() Teetotaller - someone who doesn't drink alcohol. Viperoid - like a viper Delightsome - sweet, lovely, makes one happy.] Okay, enough of the grammar ![]() INTRO... Roll the booze out into the streets ![]() The writer is awake now And unlike some of his psychedelic colleagues This one is a complete teetotaller ![]() MAIN... Darkness creeps in on the globe As viperoid children dance out Spraying “goodness” all over the place ![]() But thanks, I’ll pass I don’t need your charitable donation A lovely venomous gift Perfect poison for the pure soul Birthing the gentle worm of darkness The adorable monster that men are addicted to The weakness in the souls of men ![]() The silent dark shadow following them Even in broadest sunlight Despite their sparkling wears and smiles The soft white delightsome maggot Laughing sweetly with them ![]() With sparkling teeth like a sharp saw Eating away at the soul of the host Soon that man is seen for the rot that he really is ![]() You wriggle your seductive hips in my face ![]() But I want none of what you are selling I have lost appetite for that forbidden fruit Let me write and live and sleep in peace ![]() What more can you want from me After all, I have made my bedroom Six feet below the ground level ![]() At perfect unison with earth and bones Will you rock or turn on my knocked-out senses Or can you corrupt a dead man ![]() Heck! I am not praying for the day to dawn I am not hoping for an escape from the dark My light may not be more than 12volts’ worth ![]() But in the darkest of periods it will shine ![]() Despite the corruptions of souls and institutions Because I am like a ghost among the living ![]() OUTRO... Though the grave burns The ghost still R.I.P.s ![]() ![]() Thank you. 1 Like |
