RUSH to JUDGEMENT!

{the beheading of the wicked pepsico}

‘Twas a cloudy day in April
 with narry a soul around
 when there came from the distance
 a hauntingly mournful sound.

The beat of muffled kettledrums
sent shivers to everyone's core,
and the bagpipe's lonesome wail
echoed down each corridor.

It meandered through the Castle;
piercing each window and arch
alerting all who dwelt within
that death was on the march.

A tumbrel on the cobblestones
drawn by a gallant steed
led by a woman dressed in black;
an ominous site, indeed.

A regiment of kilted pipers,
and a drum core most serene,
slow they marched into the square
where stood a guillotine.

By now a crowd was gathered
and loud they cheered the scene
emerging in their finest robes,
came forth the King and Queen.

And what of the man in the tumbrel?
Pray tell. what was his crime?
The answer can only be told
if I take you back in time.

{some years earlier}

A maiden with eyes like Angel's
and a heart of purest gold
sang songs of love to all she met;
her story must be told.
This maiden, in her innocence,
was quite inclined to blush.
She mixed a magic potion
and called it Ginseng Rush.

It had a delicate flavour,
the news was quickly spread.
Demand was fast exploding;
"More Ginseng Rush!"  They said.

But lurking in the shadows
where "evil" is apt to go;
the powerful demon known as
none other than "Pepsico".

This villain heard the spreading news
and in his blackened heart
devised a plan to devastate;
tear  the maiden's world apart.

He stole and cheated and lied
with the power at his command
and hid behind his henchmen;
a cowardly shell of a man.

Undaunted by his evil ways
the maiden stood to fight.
News of the great injustice
reached the ears of a gallant knight.

As the knight gazed on her beauty
his heart was smitten well
and soon they had joined forces
the demon's ways. to quell.

As "truth" performed its duty
the word was rapid spread;
"Pepsico" would be captured
and off would come his head.

{meanwhile, at the Castle}

An edict was quickly passed
by the King and his lovely Queen.
In the centre of Castle Square
they erected a guillotine.
A proclamation was ordered
signed by His Majesty
and couriers spread the news
with a loud "Hear ye, hear ye!"

"By order of our King Hugh
a feast shall be prepared
and whence the pipers blow
we shall gather in the square.

To bear witness, each of you,
as the arm of justice falls.
our King bids you listen well
for the piper's solemn calls."

And soon, it came to pass,
the news had reached the ear
of the King's Master of Horse,
the steadfast knight, Nadir.

Swiftly Nadir was mounted,
full knowing what he must do,
he'd capture the evil "Pepsico"
thus, on wings he fairly flew

and under the cover of darkness
with "Pepsico" fast asleep,
into the demon's lair
our own Nadir did creep.

Although he was sorely tempted
to thrust his mighty sword
Nadir had made a promise
and he would keep his word.

He chained the evil "Pepsico",
giving not one ounce of slack;
presented him, for her vengeance,
to the woman. dressed in black.

{and so it comes now to pass}

‘Tis a cloudy day in April
with nary a soul around
and coming from the distance
a hauntingly mournful sound.

But the square was quickly filled
for the King had deemed it thus
as the piper's played their tune
a crowd gathered with a rush.

The woman in black went among them
handing each of them a stone
saying "This is the heart of "Pepsico,"
for he has no heart of his own."

They knew full well her intentions
and the air rained fast with stones.
He knelt and begged for mercy
with his battered flesh and bones.

But the crowd was in a frenzy,
as they one by one passed by,
some simply spat into his face;
one gouged out his left eye.

His begging fueled the angry crowd;
they took pleasure in his pain.
A clamp placed on his testicles
squeezed forth his begging again.

And the King called to the prisoner;
"Have you any final speech?
Speak while you are still able
the words of a snivelling leech."

A hush fell over the entire crowd
But not one eye was moist
as "Pepsico" began to speak
in a quivering quaking voice.

"You've tried and convicted me
but to you I make no concession
your children's teeth may be rotting
but I offer you no confession.

The world is driven by money
you fools had better take heed;
have you an ounce of compassion
for one who has wallowed in greed?

I spit on your ceremony
and  piss on your hearts as well.
If you don't show me some mercy
I will see all your souls in Hell."

With a dagger, she stood before him
and to the cheering crowd's surprise
she slashed off the villain's manhood
without blinking her Angelic eyes.

"Here's what I think of your " mercy."
As she tossed her prize to the crowd;
never in all my years have I heard
another man scream so loud.

The King then raised his sceptre
as the castle bells started to knell;
at exactly the stroke of mid-day,
the merciless guillotine fell.

They placed his head on the tallest spire
as the piper's began to blow
and so begins our festivities
with the beheading of "Pepsico."

May God rest his miserable soul.

    "men and women drinking flaggons of brew."


    Starlady, thank you very much for sharing your heart, and loving brush. You can feel we placed our heart ensoul into this true slice of life. The guillotine is fitting for this tale from days of yore, as they sell their dragon’s brew to the innocent ones like you and me. Let us raise our chalice of love in the drinking the flagons brew of the ages, sent to us by profits and sages. Namaste Blessed Be, the best is yet to come, as we dance enchanted in the cloudy April sun. Many blessings to you and yours, i do appreciate your applause, we reap what we sow upon the roads of our soul. And now I dance in the seraphim and cherubim the good Lord has sent thee, to be the victor of the imaginary guillotine!

    Absolutely fantastic write. It reminds me of days of yore when bards traveled the lands..and sang their tales to kings and queens in the stoney castles in rooms full of men and women drinking flaggons of brew.

    I love it and I hope you win. Congrats!!!!!!!!!

    Faite accompli!

    The woman in black on her trusty steed,
    Was none other than Elusive Butterfly
    For her sister soul, she begged to do "The Deed!"

    The tourture that endured was not enough for her
    She wanted to disembowl him, and slice off his tongue
    So when his last words came, they could only be heard as a slur!

    His useless brains would have been harvested for the lions
    For they love to eat meat, they don't care where from
    As she slowly pulled them out of his skull, she would have gloried in his cryings!

    It's been too many years for this beheading to happen
    But The Castle in Chicago, needed a beheading to occur
    So it sliced his head while the singers were a rappin'

    Thank God the monster is gone to his Hell in the fires below
    Take heed, all sinners, you will never be winners
    As long as Elusive Butterfly is alive and on the go!
    Bravo!

    Wonderful Heartfelt Comment!

    ~Dearest Kimberly~ I am silently watching the neon city lights of Chicago in my tower high in the sky. As I listen to the classical version of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. I thank you so much, Del is the true genius here, and I only helped by telling him the story. Our beloved Nadir, who is Del, is a masterpiece of light and art from his heart of hearts. We work very well as a team. Del is witty and I am somewhat pretty, lol; he even sent me a lovely small image of a guillotine. So this is where my magic begins, I love art and studied photography in college. I searched the seven seas of the Internet until I found this image you see on our page. Then I did my magic in Photo Shop blew the image up so you could feel and imagine the sky, the power and reality of the guillotine so nice and shiny. ~ROTFL~

    ‘Twas a cloudy day in April
    with narry a soul around
    when there came from the distance
    a hauntingly mournful sound.

    What makes this song enjoyable is your not really beheading anyone, because how you behead a corporation. You cannot. This is a metaphor for the larger scope of things that remain happening with PepsiCo. It is well known that PepsiCo is using the nuclear wastewaters at Chernobyl and giving this poison pop to all the children in parts of Russia and the Ukraine. Who can stop the billion-dollar machine? You have no idea how low they will go, but we do.
    Then there is the fact that only PepsiCo is sold in Iraq. Not Coke, just Pepsi. What does this tell you? Then recently in India, the people of India torched to the ground a PepsiCo bottling plant. Looking at all the facts, why would such peaceful people such as the people of India torch the plant to the ground. However they made sure no one was inside. Because some people are informed of the wicked ways of PepsiCo and will stand up to them no matter what the cost. They are known for poisoning children. This is why I want to get the message out to all the Rock Stars that will listen, don’t sing and dance for Pepsi, Because this is what you are supporting, beyond the crimes they have done to my family and me. This is what they do in real life.

    If you see only one link then have a look at this link. The image of the water on the table should tell you the entire story. Hopefully soon we will have a letter off to the director of the movie his name is STEVEN SODERBERGH. If anyone could take this tale from words to film he is our man. What I find simply fascinating about Steven is he has a movie inscribed as “King of the Hill”, and on my author’s page I have a song I wrote about PepsiCo being the Kings of the Hill. I only found this fact about STEVEN SODERBERGH yesterday. Thank you for your kind generous and uplifting words of love that are surely sent from heaven above. Here is the one link, I would love you to watch, if you can. Let me know when you have time, your thoughts and feelings about if this could be a nice fit with STEVEN SODERBERGH's (Director).

    BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!! This is just absolutely intense. When this was first posted my computer crashed right in the middle. I couldn't find this under collaborations and then I just lost touch. I am so impressed. DAMN this is good. And a history lesson besides.. It's 2 am for me here in Jersey, so I am going to bookmark this because I want to read EVERY comment and learn more and save the links. I do hope your fight for your cause is swayed in your favor. I was in the "Windy City" many years ago. And in all my travels Chicago was the closest thing to home that I had come to. You should be proud of your endeavors. I was once called a radical. And let me tell you something. Because I know deep in my heart that if were not for people such as yourself a little known place like Love Canal would never have made the news. I still would like to see companies taking a hellava lot more responsibility for their actions. The write is flawless! It sears the soul and dances off the tongue when said aloud. You guys did a fabulous job!

    Well if you desire you can name your children PepsiCo,
    Thank you for your lovely comment and i for one can think of better names to name my children other than the nuclear fusion of PepsiCo who has bottling plants in Chernobyl Russia, Yes hey, hey, hey it would be the right name if you want to damn your child for all time. So when you search the shores of your mind, and ask who are the ones that surely get a pay check from PepsiCo. You may want to know why are all the children dying in the waters that PepsiCo uses in Chernobyl Russia. I wonder why you tell me. Could it be a secret that you have to hide from the kids? Everyway I look at the truth PepsiCo is the loser in the 5-1 games of fortune and fame. Namaste Blessed Be in such a wonderful thoughtful comment to name our children after PepsiCo is the same as to name your children after Adolph Hitler!

Great story, I like how you started out in present day, then went to the past, like a novel. Also, the name Pepsico is really fun to say and everyone should name their children that in the future. But, alas, this makes me wonder if ol' Pepsico was right, and everyone who killed him would go to hell? I guess we'll never know. I bow to your poetic greatness. Do you have alot of poems like these??

    You did Cheryl,
    By mistake, I had this posted on my AP page for about 2 hours and I know you were one of the ones who commented in that brief time. I wrote this for Sharon as part and parcel to our festivities at the Chicago Castle with encouragement from King Hugh...but somewhere I hit the wrong button and instead of it winding up on Hugh's private board site, it wound up on my AP site...so there is where the confusion arises. I am amazed at the responses it has garnered and delighted that Sharon has been pleased by my gift. I empathize with her trials and tribulations on the matter through the years, and hope this token of my feelings about the topic has been of some genuine comfort to her and her family. Thanks so much for you always wonderful remarks and God Bless.

    Wonderful Heartfelt Comment!

    In reply to ConnArtist
    ~Shalom Namaste Blessed Be I am Jewish, and my first language was Hebrew.
    A brilliant and Heartfelt Comment. This is my story I hope this might make things a bit clearer to you. This is a true real life story and one day would be perfect for the Silver Screen very much as the Erin Brockovich Story.
    www.erinbrockovich.com/flasher.html

    If you would like to understand the reason why? Its as easy as 1 2 3. PepsiCo out of Purchase N.Y. stole our world trademark to the name RUSH in the same category which in International Soft Drinks, Category 32. They can buy the world and do what they please. And if you look at only these two links may be in time you will see, we will be free. Also, there attack dog attorney, whom I will name, Attorney Bird in Hand, from the Law firm of Grimes and Battersby in Stanford Conn. Broke the laws of the land. Why he is preppy educated man from Pacific Palisades California, who is a magnum cum laude graduate of Intellectual Property Law from Tulane University. Now if you were the board of PepsiCo who would you believe your paid Attorney or Me. Does this make things any clearer in this crazy world that is upside down. Attorney Bird in Hand plays diabolical games, and he is caught with his pants down. He broke the law in Illinois. Specifically Law 801, and 802, and he knowingly did this and twisted the truth with his diabolical legal ease. I can see beyond this simple game in my minds eye. He cannot and neither can the bogus corporation of PepsiCo that is selling you poisons and a pack of worthless lies. So if all you get out of this entire story is the gift of reading these two links, maybe this will make the story a bit clearer to you. This is called industrial Assignation. Not Industry Espionage, and this is a true-life story that really happened to my family and me. Not only did Attorney Bird in Hand break the law, he did this billing PepsiCo millions and millions of dollars to extend his lies lies lies, this is what attorneys are paid to do. They are nothing but meek cowards under the shell of the jolly green giant known as the fools on the hill Pepsi Co. Have a nice day.

    NEWS RELEASE
    ATTORNEY GENERAL RICHARD BLUMENTHAL
    DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER PROTECTION
    COMMISSIONER EDWIN R. RODRIGUEZ

    Attorney General, DCP Announce Settlement Requiring
    SoBe Beverages To Halt False Health Claims

    January 10, 2005
    Attorney General Richard Blumenthal and Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) Commissioner Edwin R. Rodriguez today announced that South Beach Beverage Company (SoBe) has agreed to cease making unproven claims about the health benefits of its products.

    The company also agreed to pay the state $219,000 as a civil penalty and reimbursement for legal expenses.

    SoBe's advertising and packaging falsely stated that SoBe drinks offered protection from colds and other illnesses, dramatically increased energy levels and conveyed other health benefits.

    "Hyping health – falsely – is unconscionable," Blumenthal said. "SoBe so twisted the truth to promise various drinks would prevent flu or colds, enhance memory and intelligence, improve blood flow to muscles, increase cellular strengths and reduce tension and anxiety, even stimulate passion. These unsupportable claims have now stopped. Duping customers into believing that a flavored beverage will stop illness, enhance memory or reduce stress is deceptive and deplorable. Overstating food health benefits undermines healthy diets. Food companies must be totally truthful about health claims. Connecticut will act aggressively against food manufacturers that hype health and break the public trust."

    "As consumers become more health conscious and keep track of their dietary intake, it's very important that they have truthful information," Rodriguez said. "The misleading statements made about health in the marketing of these beverages were illegal, and more importantly, could have prevented consumers from seeking proper treatment for an illness. We take our obligation to safeguard the public from deceptive practices in the advertising of food products very seriously and will not allow companies to make false or unsubstantiated claims."

    SoBe is owned by Pepsico, Inc. “

    beautiful! simply beautiful! not the imagery...that, on the contrary is quite grotesque, but the flow and the style. The picture painted in my minds eye was flawless as the text flowed. I lov the flow. It's simplicity yet consistancy throughout the peice. is your loathing really quite that deep for this company? at any rate...what an amazing write. I read that at first and thought...is that...what I think it is?? meaning the cola beverage company...simply amazing write. what a talent. it seems to be one of those writes that a movie was playin in your head and you were writing as fast as you could just to keep up wtih it. not having so much description that one is bogged down and looses the speed of the tempo of the rythm scheme...but enough to paint picture after picture. amazing work my friend amazing work. I can't help but ask...are you mormon? it just seems ironic, with all the hoopla that everyone makes about caffine... but at any rate...congragulations on an excellent and quite hysterical write. It's a perfectly intertwined plotline of old and new, classic and modern. beautifully written...grotesque imagery...but affective at that. you have a true talent to write of something so...common? thats not the word i'm lookin for but it will have to do. excellent write my friend...an excellent write. i look forward to your future works. godbless

    Don't sleep much do you? LOL but there are few rough places to clean up on your wonderful work, all poems are poems in progress, but I hope this is your forte, such creativity is plaudable and your command of the lingua mater is great. One of the cases in point. Is where He has no heart of his own could be simpler smoother with He has none of his own. Things like that.

    Okay now I get it and when Pepsi was first invented they used pepsin to help calm the stomach but it became a soft drink. I think that I understand what this ballad is all about. Good luck with Attorney Generals they can be helpful but then they can not be be helpful. This is intense and very intriguing though.

    Wonderful Comment!

    ~Namaste Blessed Be The Bisexual Poet~
    Indeed you have a keen eye and tremendous insight
    in our RUSH to have the song finished we did make a spelling error
    Please forgive me. Some of my friends know i am somewhat dyslexic,
    Meaning I invert letters all the time. For my life I can't seem to spell angels, every time I spell it angles... ROTFL~ And my spell check can't catch this for the simple reason angles is a common word. I have said that i am going to Penn a letter to Bill Gates and ask why don't you have a spell check program for people that may be somewhat and totally dyslexic. If you would like to understand the reason why? Its as easy as 1 2 3. PepsiCo out of Purchase N.Y. stole our world trademark to the name RUSH in the same category which in International Soft Drinks, Category 32. They can buy the world and do what they please. And if you look at only these two links may be in time you will see, we will be free. Also, there attack dog attorney,
    Which I will name, Attorney Bird in Hand, from the Law firm of Grimes and Battersby in Stanford Conn. Broke the laws of the land. Why he is preppy educated man from Pacific Palisades California, who is a magnum cum laude graduate of Intellectual Property Law from Tulane University. Now if you were the board of PepsiCo who would you believe your paid Attorney or Me. Does this make things any clearer in this crazy world that is upside down. Attorney Bird in Hand plays diabolical games, and he is caught with his pants down. He broke the law in Illinois. Specifically Law 801, and 802, and he knowingly did this and twisted the truth with his diabolical legal ease. I can see beyond this simple game in my minds eye. He cannot and neither can the bogus corporation of PepsiCo that is selling you poisons and a pack of worthless lies. So if all you get out of this entire story is the gift of reading these two links, maybe this will make the story a bit clearer to you. This is called industrial Assignation. Not Industry Espionage, and this is a true-life story that really happened to my family and me. Not only did Attorney Bird in Hand break the law, he did this billing PepsiCo millions and millions of dollars to extend his lies lies lies, this is what attorneys are paid to do. They are nothing but meek cowards under the shell of the jolly green giant known as the fools on the hill Pepsi Co. Have a nice day.
    And thank you for the time you took to shine your light and love our way today. ~Namaste Blessed Be Sharron~

    I think this is one of your better poems lately. Rhyming isn't really my style but I like to keep reading yours. There is one part that I'd change:
    But lurking in the shadows
    where "evil" is apt to go;
    the powerful demon known as
    none other than "Pepsico".
    : I'd take out the 'known as' but if you like it the way it is then keep it, this is just my opinion

    The crimes of corporations, all bearing the signs of evil in their brand logos, are rarely convicted by the corrupt courts that are also paid by them. But justice will be, though heavens may fall. If not in this life - which is a mere ephemeral fragment of the complete array of existence in and beyond space and time - surely in another. If this knowledge is added to one's awareness, the view on life changes dramatically. It helps in the sense that it saves us anbundance of energy wasted on matters that do not matter. Leaving us with more energy to fight injustice. This is what you do in writing and in life. I commend you for that. Thank you for cerating and sharing this skilled expression containing truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Take care,

    Sharron,

    I thank you for the information on the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company. I stopped drinking Pepsi about a year ago because I truly had become addicted to it. I had drunk the beverage for years and found myself going to various stores to find it on sale. I stopped one day, and took a look at that, and said, NO MAS! The other details that you gave me, I had no idea they exisited.

    As far as the poem, I thought it was sheerly metaphorical. NO, I did not hold any apathy or sympathy for the conglomerations that welch on little people nor do I support corporate greed and deception. Again, I do thank you for the information, and your compassion. I will pray for you and your son, Mr. Carr. I am downloading the files on his water. Very interesting indeed. I am enlightened.

    Wow, very beautiful. I don't think I've read any piece of poetry that's anymore discriptive. This was definatly one of my favirote verses to read;


    A maiden with eyes like Angel's
    and a heart of purest gold
    sang songs of love to all she met;
    her story must be told.
    This maiden, in her innocence,
    was quite inclined to blush.
    She mixed a magic potion
    and called it Ginseng Rush.

    It just called to me. You also did an excellent job of rhyming in a natural way. I fear my poems don't rhyme that well, most of the time. I try though! Anyhow keep up the good work! I'm definatly adding you to my favirotes list.

    ~~~
    ~Think not, for one minute, feel sorry for PepsiCo. As they sing, they have more golden monies than the Lord does. They lie, cheat, and steal. PepsiCo products are true poison. Would you give a newborn baby Pepsi to drink? Think, Think, Think, of what i am telling you this is a dark dark corporation forevermore. After 25 years, i should know by now their truth and bloody red red seas. Not only are they wicked, PepsiCo, uses their bottling plants as a squeaky-clean front for the Ben Laden Monies. It is not a secret the world knows. The news is just starting to leek to the public. Look at the facts why would India burn down a PepsiCo bottling plant. Something is very wrong with them. If you only look at one link look at what the Attorney General has said in writing about Pepsi Co.

    www.cslib.org/attygenl/press/2005/coniss/SoBe%20release.htm


    I love your comment filled with honesty. However, do not feel sorrow for the ones who only wallow in green greed. They destroyed a family a child and my company. Is this the way of God? I beseech of thee know this is the way of evil lustful eyes, as they hide their dirty deeds from all of human kind. Don't feel sorry for a corporation that will steal you bind and place poisons on the little insides of your children, full knowing its all for greed and deception.

    PepsiCo does not care about you; it is all for show, and to sell their false unholy image. Maybe one day we will have Democracy in the USA, in the winds of change that are coming today. Eternal Peace, to you and yours, the Pepsico Corporation actually threatened my son and Robert Corr personally. Oh, this is real life. Moreover, this will go before Congress, it is all on recorded tapes as in the Watergate Tapes. Namaste Blessed Be. Just so everybody knows, Pepsi is sold in Iran. They do not allow Coke to sell in their country.

    Why, because the corporation of Coke has Class and has a generous warm and compassionate nature. Think, Think, and Think, why would they launder the Ben Laden monies? Pepsi Co is moving towering volumes of monies in the Canary Islands. Think about it, someone need a squeaky clean front to cover up moving vast volumes of monies unnoticed until now. Today is the final hour as we stand and watch the fallen fall once more upon the shores of the Roman Empire that only seeks the love of green greed as its immortal power.

    What can I say, my sweet Sharron, that everyone else hasn't already said? This story/poem is brilliantly written, revealing to the world your tremendous talent for poetry and lyrics. You grabbed my attention with the first line and held me captive to the final word in this exquisite piece. Like a novel, it has a throat-grabbing opening, a spine-tingling middle, and an end that leaves the reader feeling all has been resolved! Excellent, simply excellent.

    Lots of love and hugs, B♥nnieQ

    I didn't, at first, catch that this was completely satirical...but after I picked that up, I started laughing. I knew "Pepsico" sounded a bit out of place in the context of the story. I think that society in general is hypercritical, and many members of it are leeches themselves...everything nowadays circulates around the "almighty" dollar. The background of this poem reminds me a lot of the French Revolution, with the guillotine...and I love how you made this "Pepsico" character seem like the devil's advocate. All in all, a very good satire. I can't seem to write poems like this to save my life.

    Many blessings,

    great!

    Very long, but very beautiful. It seems heartfelt and it is very good. I loved it because i knew that it must have taken a long time and a lot of effort to write, as shown by the amazing beauty and power of the poem. it was lovely. i wish i could write like that. if i could write like thagt, then I would be a new person. You are a ray of light, in this world of darkness and horrible tagedy that is going all around us. I which there were more people like you, you great writer person who is great. I think that if there was anyone that is as amazing as you, then they would be rich. I wish i was rich.

    I think people may miss to some extent that is is a satire. And some of your descriptions I believe are meant figuratively, not literally. Why you've Pepsi cola is your own motivation but I suppose for you it represents the crass riches of modern business. It is extremely well written and I gleaned my own personal enjoyment from it....death to those who have tempted and have harmed my own. Very inventive, and whether intentional or not, this is a subtle humor that runs through this poem.

    Sharon this was just amazing. Through and through this was a delight with even an upbeat tempo & free flow through it. Hmmmmm I'm beginning to get a read on what's going on here.
    I would just like to say.."You're applauded many times over!" I know you know what I mean You have many muses my dear and this was a wonderful collaboration. I commend you on your hard work my dear. You brought truth to so many without being acknowledged by all you still did it out of love & compassion. Good luck on your entry!
    P.S. Loved the narrative way you did this! Bellismo!
    Namaste~

    I am floored! Left looking like this LOL This is one of the most staunch poems I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I applaud your abilities here, and for sure will come back tomorrow when I have the actual applause to give. The melancholy tone that I am left with after this read is engulfing. Poor, poor "Pepsico". I feel like I know him and am saddened at his demise. Although justice must reign supreme, and th games that are played with the masses shall soon topple. Your poem reminds me that great Empires do fall, and it is the little people, so to speak that cause their ruin. Just wondrous is your abounding talent. I am new here, and imagine that I may have to remove my shoes, and sit a while. With the likes of this, it is easy to do. Congratulations on a wonderful writ.

    A man of God, who sings with a heart of pure

    ~~~
    ~Nadir you're my royal horseman in the sky~
    I am so proud to have you here by my side
    You’re just a miracle to behold in your heart and soul
    And i just want you to know, how i feel and love you so
    You bring out the strength in all of us and in you i trust
    I feel that I’ve been touched by an angel of love heaven sent from up above
    You know that the pearls of wisdom wash in purity the truth
    As we shine on in a new day today united strong as the power of the sun
    Oh i found such tender grace and light in your sweet eyes Nadir
    You bring me down to this angelic place of grace and i love you beyond tomorrow
    We need never rush our never-ending stories of timeless love as i sing to you
    In truth and beauteous beauty sing Ave Maria. I prayed for the divine assistance of peace and God, as our single daisy now blooms as one through the stubborn sod. Some events in time and space are meant to share with the entire human race. Moreover, I know in your sweet and tender soul you reside with the archangels of love. As i sing to you my noble horseman of the golden white lights. Ride within your seven steed just one more night until we all are one in the shinning light of the newborn sun. Let his will be done in our song of summer sun. That shall reign beyond the day that we shall live. For all my life, i need to give, for it’s within my gifts that i must live. This is the lesson Pepsico; sorry to say has never learned. They seek to destroy people and greatness everywhere these demonic being remain. This is one of the reason why the People of India burned down a Pepsico bottling plant, because the people of India deeply see and understand Pepsico is slowly poisoning them. However, in the USA, sometimes we are blinded by the glitz and the glamour you see on the Media Airwaves. Oh, you see a star such as Britney Spears, in all her glory sing for PepsiCo, she is very young and she does not know they only use her because the bottom line is sensuality sells. Moreover, this is all this story is about the lust and vengeance of PepsiCo for world domination supremacy and the fallen worship of green greed. They pay off the Judges, in black suitcases behind closed doors. Nadir you know that Judges can be bought at any cost. There is nought a true legal system in the USA. It is a sham there is no justice anyone and everyone can be bought, yet at what cost. What i find the most maniacal and egotistically of the fallen dammed attorney bird in hand, is he hides behind the corporate walls of PepsiCo, billing them millions in legal fees, and the Board of PepsiCo falls for his lies hook line and sinker. Reason why he is a magnum cum laude, Tulane Graduate in Intellectual Property Law, at the Law firm of Grimes & Battersby in Stanford Conn. And all the kings’ horsemen and all the kings’ men, could not put attorney bird in hand back together again. I love you and bless you for the goodness and happiness you have shared in our song that will last here there and everywhere...

    WoW! Sharon,

    I am a bit flabbergasted by all the wonderful comments we are getting on this Sharon, absolutely amazing. I posted it on the Castle Board as well but I think many of Hugh's favs are preoccupied at the moment so it is not getting near as much response. Glad it is such a hit and proud to have been a part of it.

    Luv n s,

    Del

    Wonderful Heartfelt Comment!

    ~ROTFL My Beloved Piston~
    Today lets us have some real fun. Come on today is the dawning of the newborn sun. Now PepsiCo does not understand the meaning in the rhythm rhyme, as we inscribe a fantasy as true-life destiny. Once upon a time, way back then, Remember When, i was the so-called Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, I think she said, "Off with their heads, and/or Let them eat cake". Am i dreaming or have i made another mistake. What is really charming and enchanting to me. The divine poet Maatkara said to me, you know what Sharron you look like Marie Antoinette! Moreover, I said astonished, you know I have always felt one within her timeless legendry lore. Then I did a photo merge for Maatkara, and isn’t life strange, the images were very similar indeed. As Pepsico bubbles red double and triple trysts to flee in their red carbine armies. Seems the future past days replay repeatedly until the seams become one dream. They were all sent to the guillotine a long time ago. And now the same dharma and instant karma is falling their way in the Lords Year of April 3rd, 2005, the day this heaven sent poem was officially inscribed in the all knowing eyes of the divine light. If it be his will, then my voice be still. If their fate is, too be exposed for the evils they do on all humanity, SO BE IT! ~Love and Lightness to you and yours eternally, Namaste Blessed Be, Sharron~

    I have never read a poem this long because most of them don't keep my attention and I leave without finishing it... with that being said... You made this so interesting that the length just didn't bother me. You told this story quite well.. in fact, this is one of the best poems I have read. You kept the story line perfectly...

    What an awesome piece. Well done! ~Melissa♥

    Very clever merging the fall of an ancient kingdom with the idea of toppling corporate behemoths. Reminds me of Sage Francis' line "The [Nike]swoosh symbol is nothign but a whip in mid-swing," from his song "Narcissist."-Curtis Meyer
