Divine waste

sorenbarrett

After the purging came the rain
God's sweat and excretions baptize babes and rapists
with vomit and urine of redemption
Expulsion of all that nourishes and the profane 
void from bilious bellies of gluttonous clouds
Gomorrah's fires quenched in Noah's deluge
The poet's words fall as tear drops
On hard ground they form mud spots
blood of the word, salvation's sacrament is taken
making all drunken on the waste of the gods

        Once the poet’s tears were salt off the Earth… these days the value appear to have dropped almost like a stock market crash.. and still we weep…

              The poet’s words fall
              as tear drops

              Whatever horrors befall this earth, there will always be poets around who will record it with their own tears. There’s going to be alot of rain before the sun comes out.

              Powerful write. Thought provoking.
