For God, growl once with me
For Sin, crawl to the Sea
Devour the lot of cold steel
With men who trade salt
To spin the great wheel
For God, let’s go insane
For sin, smoke with champagne
Be the young feline
Make your voice a smoke stream.

Oh universe above, born center-hot
Ice, wood, bone, and steam.
Soon bleed eye and know of a poison present,
but don’t blame me.

Oh, for God, growl once with me
For sin, walk with a cane
Celebrate God’s delicious needle fame
To challenge your own name
Speak up, and be game
For God, growl once with me
For sin, drink hot champagne
Be the young feline
Make your voice a smoke stream

Oh universe above, born center-hot
Ice, wood, bone, and steam
Soon bleed eye and know of a poison present,
but don’t blame me.

For God, crawl to the sea
For sin, let’s go insane
Glass, marble, tea
Yet you still are the me
that I never could sustain
What could I've regained?
For God, growl once with me
For sin, smoke yours profane
For god, growl once with me.

    What's up horus? It's a long time since I read any of your stuff, you're getting frighteningly good. It kills me not to try nitpicking a poem but I listened to this and there's nothing I'd change. One day I'll be able to afford to get cdbaby to ship over here, until then I'll just have to listen online. Peace.

    Well, I don't know about these other people, but I really like it.
    I love the implied connection of animalism and spiritualism. In fact this has a very pagan feel to it, with the mention of salt, sea, wood. A very interesting write...

    Good

    Very interesting lyrics and rhythm in this piece. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but I'm just an old hippie! .
    I like the title and how it fits with the verses.
    Unfortunately I'm at work (lunch-break) and don't have audio capabilities. It was a good read, just the same.
    Best wishes -Emmjay

    To say the least, the lyrics are different. I didn't pull up the audio - I'd rather read the words and get the interpretation just from there for now. I imagine the audio is as strong as the piece tho.

    Great images on this and different overall with the take on growling and God. It's certainly nothing I would expect - but I have realized that reading your stuff will always bring the unexpected.

    Well done. Kimmie

    I have listened to this before, and I can't remember if I commented on it or not. I love the way your music and words to this feel like they slither around starting at your ankles and working their way methodically up your body til they reach your mind. It is very deliberate and well measured. Trance like. I LOVE IT.

    The mention of sin and God in the same lyrical verse just makes me all squishy inside. The concept of God growling is fresh and innovative and makes me want to howl at the moon... just a bit

    last time I checked this was a poetry site, not a pro-god poetry site.
    And since this is America, and we as Americans have written a constitution
    keeping god and religion out of our government and it's branches,
    I think that pretty much gives me the freedom
    as a poet to say pretty much anything I want any time I want
    any way I want. And being a humanitarian has absolutely
    nothing to do with god. It has to do with humans.
    that's why it's called humanitarian and not goditarian.
    Not only are you a bore, but you're a boring judge
    of people; something I can never become, because
    I'm much too busy writing and making a difference
    in people lives instead of judging them 'because
    I think I am on god's team' like you do. God has no team.
    God has the pope and a million rotten governments
    and filthy political thieves and war mongers to do his
    good work for him. because you and your god are
    so loving that the entire world is on a shit sled to hell.
    you clowns think hell is undergroend and on fire?
    Let me tell you, I'd rather go there than have to live
    the hell religious men put women and children through
    when they set out to kill other's in the name OF GOD.
    can't you feel the love?
    over a million dying children do ever day,
    die for your god, for your fathers war's and money
    and land. You should all be ASHAMED,
    and practice what you preach, and worry about
    your own dirty floors, before anothers.
    and you tell me that if my poems for god, it's ace!
    and if it's not I suck? You lemming hack...
    So pathetic you don't even have a valid artistic opinion
    without god, how appropriate. I have news for
    you, I don't even know who you are, I've never read your poetry,
    and life will go on regardless.
    good day.

    something technical: you missed the first "champagne" and spelled it "chamagne" here instead. I'm not a hardcore fan of this kind of music, but I agree with more5600. It could well be an intoxicating brew in its own right, in ears prepared to listen to it.

    Definitely better on the audio, doesn't read well as written, maybe the line breaks should replicate the actual breaks in the audio, which has a very Nico-era Velvet Underground sensibility (Lou Reed under Warhol's spell) But I find it compelling on many levels. -Al

    I liked the audio track much more than I like this as a written piece. It definitely works wonderfully with the music - and you (or whoever that is whose voice that is) are a very talented "reader". This is wonderful read aloud with that background, but...in my opinion, not even close to some of your other stuff as a written work.

    Still....I really enjoyed the audio. Very excellently done.

    It is very old attempt to invent the reality of the universe becoming perplexed in words .It is an old phenomena of the humanheart since centuries. It is like a hitting to the mountain which is transparent. Although the work by the poet in terms of selecting the subject as well as dealing this so delicately is really a remarkable and just slick.Welldone.prabhudayal khattar
