Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Why in the wilds of this life
when winds break our homeland
do we struggle in the torret
and build statues grand
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
I looked for you under and around
I tried to save your children
They were burried and in pain
This is madness misery and pain
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
I walked until the sun arose
and daylight tickled my blooded toes
I fell again for your image
Dehydrated,
Desperate,
Lost in this mirrage
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Sing me the song,
You know the words,
Sing for me dear lady
Gladden this old heart
Light me one last candle
Dust away the cobs that web
And clean the old stained shirts
We're nothing but an ocean
Deep with no answer given
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
I'll not to my knees for you
I have no lord.
I'll not to the church and prey
Uppon the weak minded citizen
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Slay for me kill
Stay for me, will you?
Live for me breath
Pray for me, dare you?
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Blinded sensless martyr
Oh foolish twister of words
Speak again from your blackend heart
Oh please, tell me more lies!
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
I sing for you father,
I aid you suffering mother
A wall blocks us sister
A rival hunts us all
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Oh carry on,
Sing once more
Your patience,
I do so adore
Unwrap the tightly bound heart strings
Let flow the eagle wings
Play a cardio-vascular melody
While I remember the old things
I lived but once in Arcadia
A long long time since past
For now I live in fear
In houses made of glass
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
We are simply flooded
And lulled
And groomed
Predictable
We've become what the media wishes
The housewife no longer just for dishes
The stay at home dad,
The businesswoman
The model
The size 00
Sickness
Illness
Publicity is cancer
Vanity is golden
Oh buy your perfect plastic figure
While governments shout that racist term
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Wonders well the never cease
Our minds can never be at peace
The news is always mellow and desaturated
For all we are can be prescribed
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
We are the pills we take
The drinks we down
The food from distant lands
We are the compilation of life
The predictable digital playlist
The aesthetically pleasing crowd
The like minded individuals
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Tell me you love me!
Sell it to me!
Tell it to me!
Share it!
Care
Damn you
Damn you!
Care!
Share it!
Tell it to me!
Sell it to me!
Tell me you love me!
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
We are not alone.
We are not so safe.
We inherit.
We cry.
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
I suffer, as do you.
Together we make bonds
We heal and we survive.
Together we play,
Today we explore, for tomorrow we die
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
And is it not a fitting tribute
For all to be remembered as we are
Not for the money spent
Not for the brand new car
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
The aesthetic is pathetic
The story of glory fades
When all are crying around you
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
The priest has finished
Softly in the air for a few seconds
Then it lands with a thud
A sprink of the mother land
In form of dark brown mud
You are in a box
In the graveyard
A filing cabnet
For the dead
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Are you just a number?
Does your statistic matter?
Life and death makes us wander
Prepare for the verbal gun fight
Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part
Expose to the world
Whats in your head
With truths from here to heavens*
The final curtain becons destiny
A wind whispers your name
Its your turn to answer it
and sea nothing but a corridor of doors
You open each one, nothing, not a thing.
Waking in new places
Shaking from the visit
Delving deep into yourself
Exposing the final verse.

two thumbs up
lol well i have used up my last two applauds but its worth it you have a real talent lol but i surposed thats obvious seeing as you get paid to write i dont think many people on this site can boast that lol but on a serious note i really did like the poem a kinda glimpse into the darker side of humanitys psychie if i havnt of spoken to you i would of thought you were quite morbid lol but funny thing is ur not lol from what i can gather ur a person who can see the jokes in even the most serious and hurt full subjects in life lol bare in mind this is just me musing lol but yeah i really did enjoy it i love the repeated stanza/chorus what ever you intended it to be but yet again this really does work as a song
-
Intense. And beautifully written. I admire you for writing a poem of this length.

I Read It! =D
I love the 'chorus'
"Seeping through me creeping
Crying for me weeping
Death do us part
In this story
Play your part"
You seem to have a telent for writing them.
Some of the bits towards the end didn't enthral me, such as:
"The priest has finished
Softly in the air for a few seconds
Then it lands with a thud
A sprink of the mother land
In form of dark brown mud
You are in a box
In the graveyard
A filing cabnet
For the dead"
It didn't carry the same punchy audacity as the rest of the poem. The flow was lost a little there, it seemed to slow down a little too much. It had already slowed once with:
"We are not alone.
We are not so safe.
We inherit.
We cry."
This second 'slowing down' was a little too much for me, I liked the fast pace of it.
I also think it would have ended nicely on the 'chorus' but then that would have made it more lyrical... 'song like' which may not have been what you were going for.
Anywho, excellent write. I was scared about the length, but the fast pace meant it wasw actually quite an easy read.
Take care Tom.

Well with the poem I wasnt aiming for a complete flow, I wanted it disjointed, for example if you look the majority of the stanzas do nto follow patterns simular to each other, they have varying rhyme schemes if a rhyme scheme at all with some of them.
Perhaps i could extend the poem and have the slowing points act like the high banked curves of a roller coaster slowing you then hurtling you back into the poem.
I neglected to mention the disjointed affect in my author comments thus you are well and correct to inform me as you did.
Thank you for reading,
Take care mate!
