Description
I’m lost in my subtextSubtly giving my lauded sadism away
My being dissipates
The more I spread myself around
Thin on the ground
I’ve begun
The mourning of my own wake
Missing celebration yet again
My body burnt to ashes
What will become of my sarcastic streak?
Cleaned away like smears across dirty glass
No one will hold me in memory
Transparent thoughts in an empty vase
Held here, I accomplish nothing
Except reams of mediocrity
Ink that creeps over yellowed pages
Originality does not exist
In this time
What was done to receive this punishment?
Murder, rape, pillage or plunder
A Saxon lost in dark electric cities
Covered in the blood of pointless latex-skinned victims
Killed for the sake of being him
Our heroes all dead and dusted
Like underground vampires
Set alight by the dawn of a commercial sun
How can we give up
When hope is no longer given?
Did LHO have these thoughts
before the rifle blew through JFK
as Jackie O lay across the Cadillac
picking up pieces of her husband?
I become a part of the only thing he knew
A waxwork model in the assassination museum
Murder plots work out like graves in a cemetery
Full of forgotten plans and perpertrators
Laid to rest, just like their targets

I admire your ability to include such vivid imagery in a poem that is more emotionally than visually driven. Love the 'latex-skinned victims' idea in particular. Brilliant stuff dude.

Thanks man, i still think my tangents don't seem to have a direction but i think most of it is more visuals than anything else, its the video editor in me
btw i found the stuff my mate drew based on a comic i wrote...[link] thats the last page, just click on his gallery to find the rest.

It's good. I can't actually work out what you're trying to get across with it, if anything. I'll probably have another read of it later and think.

I don't 'tend to have a point to my writing, i know its a bad thing but i just don't seem to have the reasoning behind the subject. Weird huh? :/

( I don't think it matters if you have a point or not, people always read in different things in pictures or poems, there is always something in it that maybe you don't even see yourself. I've discovered that if you analyse something that you thougt was just gibberish wen you wrote it you will find that it makes sense somewhere...
...by the way, do you like dEUS?)

No I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing at all. Maybe that *is* the point. Or maybe we just have to dig a little deeper to find it.

Very true....i think its more self-destructive in nature but i find poetry or lyrics that end on a high note a little patronising of the real world..

It's strange what we can come up with (especially if not usually a writer) when you just... go for it and type. I've made two (slightly daft) poem-type things with that mindset (The Pencil Goblin stuff). Nice work, man! I agree with the first comment here, lots of messages floating about, lots of cool images.

Yeah i read that stuff, its a pretty impressive point to make out of writing. This style actually reminds me a lot of the film 'Adaptation' where Nic Cage's character attempt to create a screenplay where nothing truly happens. A lot like real life. Thanks for the comment man...

Wow.. that is awesome. YOu have this way of carrying over so many messages in one piece, and with it so many emotions - it's quite disturbing..

Thanks a lot chick, some people could construe that as being a little confusing, reading it back myself i felt a little muddled as my work doesn't 'tend to have a solid direction at the moment.
But i'm not really a story writer, i'm more of an imaginative, ideas man...lol I don't know.
