Born To Die (Warning may offend).
We are born to die
within that murky truth we fly.
But inside we lie.
Wings of clay
carry us away.
People search for a god
begotten by a will to live.
Struth…..
they try to escape the truth!
Six million Jews….
Pogrom after Pogrom
century after century
against the Jews.
Srebrenica….
Syria and Iraq.
Covid.
Afghanistan and the poor lost Congo.
Thousands of children…
Disease and early deaths.
Peoples last lonely painful breath.
Psalm 98:3
“He has remembered His lovingkindness
and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.”
(Except for the above)
Living lives with one lonely eye
cast upon a darkening sky.
Opening your eye’s to lifes banality
you know deep down
your going to be a casualty.
People trying to lead good lives
only to spiral and crash
as all around turns to ash.
So come twirl and dance with me
Wear the endless absurdity
as we can come face our reality.
See with me this endless mime
so for John 3:17..... He's taking his time.

I don't find this offensive.
I don't find this offensive. Stuffing lies into our mouths is offensive. Let the truth set us free.

A damn good rap!
Wow! A great poem deserving a cherry. It is best read out loud and fast; and as to its theme, what is trully offensive is how we allow such suffering in the world. Keep going Mentalelf.
