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 . Here we go! 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 |
