Giving More Than


Wow. I guess the truth is I'm giving more than just my mind away.

(Taken is more like it you fool!)

Taken? Ha! Then those doing the taking need remember one thing, I'm eternal, so theft has an echo coming. Now who's being a fool?

(Oh shit...)

Think! I ask for very little, but that you damn well begin to think! Cowards and fools alone do not a good play make. Think! Why on (H)eartH would I give away the plot and the leading characters? Think...

(Silence)

Good morning birdsong!
What a joyous soundtrack.
Something we certainly haven't the skills to mimic...

If you've already taken a character for yourself, make it loving and peaceful, kind and forgiving, because what's coming will take all else and bring it to its knees without question. Think...

(Sounds of thinking can be heard on the grand stage.)

Peace is coming to a living theatre near you, Love and Forgiveness are already here...

(What does thinking sound like, Scribbler?)

Joyful laughter, or it better.

(Sounds of joyful laughter...)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

FAULT METER

FAULT METER    When you get a question wrong you will hear three loud beeps followed by an even louder ticking of a clock.    (Like tick-tick-tick-tick-tick?)    You are half right.    (Like tock-tock-tock-tock-tock?)    You got two halves of it.    (Then I give up!)    You do?    (It ain’t out of weakness, it’s my adhdad.) I understand.    (You understand what?)    That it’s not out of any weakness on your part.    (Weakness, on my part in what?)    Never mind, it’s definitely adhdad.     •    We float, we fly, we soar! We find our wings in each other. We find friends, cousins of the one seed of existence. An existence which never began, but always was, that loves us enough to provide life’s needs, our own, the same. A collection of living peacekeepers upon the surface of the most heavenly example known to them. • © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
