Well, isn\'t that the point? God\'s been dethroned from his supernatural throne.

Rereading this brings a flood of sad and enrage tears. I can still feel my murderous intent. I want them quailing as I hurtle down the night sky.
I want them to feel what my fellow New Yorkers felt watching the despaired leap to their deaths hand in hand to avoid 2000 degree flames. God, after all those months working with the demoralized, the defeated, the sad and broken families whose love ones went up in a cry of flame and smoke, and after all these years I can still cry, but oh, god, how I wish I could have gotten my old hands on them for a few seconds. For a few seconds...just a few.
Revenge is not a dish best served cold. No, best served hot, so very, very hot.

Thanks. Can you see anywhere that I might pare down he language to make the admittedly rageful imagery pop?

String Theory
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
WELCOME MARK ~ Thanks for your first Poem. It takes a dedicated Man to post ~ not on Easter Bunnies or Cats (see our Poem) but on STRINGTHEORY ! I am a Chemist so I could follow the gist of your elegant Poem. STRING THEORY ~ as I undestand it ~ is an attempt to bring thefundemental forces of Gravity ~ Electromagnetism & Nuclear Forces into one Unified Field Theory. It sought to resolve the conflict between Classical Physics and Quantum Physics. The concluion is that everthing in the known Universe (and other Universes if they exist) are Universly linked by STRINGS ! Planet Earth ~ once thought to be the Centre of the Universe ~ is reduced to a Cosmic YO YO !
This year is the International Year (150th Aniversary) of the Periodic Table. In 1869 the 60 known Elements were no longer free entities but unified and linked into families in Mendeleevs Periodic Table. GOLD (88) lost its nobility and it had to sit just three places away from LEAD (92). And later in 1932 Gold & Lead were shown to be composed of the same fundemental particles Protons : Electrons : Neutrons. The alchemists were right ~ you can knock four Protons out of Lead and transmute it into Gold but it costs more than the Gold is worth !
Thanks for sharing
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA.
