Can you guess ? Why the Dead smile.

Piled corpses now smile, why ?

soulless eyes glitter hate
they are kindling for purity
and to brighten their dark dawn

skulls are beyond reparation
insanity falls on eastern lands,
innocence pleads with purity
with slices from forked tounges

babies are thrown in wells,
as technology feeds diatribes
to madden muddled minds
and blacken disenchanted souls

the Veined earth will strip, wailing
bare and barren her mothers womb
shall soon be childless, empty
her wells and creeks dry up to dust,
the last sparrows song shall ring
as the Guf is emptied, to silence

pestulance are poisons to rule night
once again conquering all humanity
the stench of rot will compost
ether nets creep will web rust

fearless as the courageous
older than a finite moment,
planet earth shall once again find
balance, in the silence, she's set free

And now?,

while you where sleeping,
a child found an empty larder,
a home less one body, keens grief,
the lambs of god repent hatred
jealousy killed compassions dream
tomorrow will see magenta sunrises

Fear not the shared destiny of death
the explosions of a foreign regime
are just a distraction of government
cloak and dagger in hand they hide truth

a planet consumed in greed,
all this time you've been waiting
but hells what we're living in here

and now,finally, you know,
why the dead smile.

wow. this is another masterpiece coming from you. As usual, so full of imagery and emotion.
Just one small spelling mistake in - ''once again conquering all humnity'' you missed the 'a' in humanity.

Kudos, Jayne!

Lots of love and hugs
Alid

Thanks for the heads up on the spelling omission, very happy you liked it hon

Much love Jayne x

I must read this again to glean more of its intricate meaning, but even after the first read I am quite enthralled! The way you fit certain words together with others truly amazes me, as does Mr. Esker up in Canada! Very interesting and profound poem!

Yes this one's a wed of mixed words that when read form a solid truth I still have to tidy this one up but I'll leave it for the time being

Thanks again

much love to you both Jayne x

I liked the descriptive words before
but I can feel the knuckles on this
one....the emotion squeezed out...the
conviction of its power!

thank U!

Yes its knuckles are out time

bare and ready to fight for the planet

Well what's left of it anyway

Much love Jayne x
