Insatiable Adoni
Look to my hands
Crimson with your desire
Does it please you
Does the saline stench
Make you replete
See how I grew for you
Smell the fear I engender
How many more innocents I wonder
Before you admit satisfaction
Far be it for me to question
Though I will anyway
Why
To what purpose have you put me
This slaughter
This sadistic teasing of humanity
Surely it has purpose
Or so you would have us believe
Me
What do my thoughts matter
Since you ask though
I think you're just a petulant
Infantile
Prick

Celticlion on May 19 2008 edit · delete Ya got so many damned poems up, I figured I'm going to review some of them. I mean, shit. Hardly anyone reviews around here. I like the nasty grinding halt this comes to at the end. This has a sense of betrayal and mystery in the beginning- as if the speaker has been lured into a predatory situation. Maybe I'm off the mark. That's my sense. I like that it's ambiguous- I also like that the nasty gets withheld til the very end- like a dog you thought you might pet and then, SNAP! Excellent poem...C
Mosquitobyte on May 20 2008 edit · delete Thanks for the articulate review.
You're pretty spot on really, it's about the effect religion has on people. The final section is of course, my personal opinion of religion - regardless of theology.
