About This Poem

THINK

" Scribe, we're trying to figure out,
how people like you think".....

Not like your,
Mascara for Clowns life polish
Loved for what your not
Make-up that you apply daily
Humanoids, Slithering
Upon your bellies
Hissing
Easier for you to strike
With silent rattles
With venom less potent
Than pure Artesian Water
Go ahead and bite me
I beseech you 
To start at my loin
The Scribe a.k.a Prince Albert
Extinguishing the flames 
Out of weeds quicker

How do I think?

Not like your,
Just add water friendships
That sprout betrayal
Mirror Anaphylaxis
Of the view that's regurgitated
From the soul of Bullsh**
In the eye of its beholder
Now Look
That's not the reflection of
A monster, it is you
The Christ like
Escaping the cross to bare Whoredom
Lying down with each other
Sharing hazardous excretion

Not like your,
Eclectic chirps
To congregate in cowardly fashion
Assuming my DNA is different
With your blossoming thoughts of
A female dog
Mutts tucking their tails
Sniffing each others rear
Never relinquishing that instinct

How do I think?
Like sitting on your sofa
When you come home
To greet you with my 
Thoughts!

The Scribe

    Oh My Scribe, I had fun reading this poem. It made me realize, what do people think about when they come across a person like me. I'm like them into Christ, but, very awkward when it comes to thinking. Like you up above.. I fancied many of your thoughts,, especially this one.. "Assuming my DNA is different With your blossoming thoughts of A female dog Mutts tucking their tails Sniffing each others rear" Now that my friend, takes thinking to the extreme. love your poem~ PD

    A package where the message is just so loud and clear there is no in between.. Love this Marlon ;)

    Brutally honest write bringing out the disease of hypocrisy. Brutally awaking, brutally confronting, no shadows here, no in between, straight arrow shot! Got it! And quite well written I must say!

    I'm sure your thoughts would keepanyone on their toes Marlon; can't imagine you being boring! That's quite a fascinating spread you give us to read. Luv, Lizzie

    Hi marlon! So nice to hear from you! i was just thinking of you yesterday, wondering where you've been. I guess you must have felt that you needed some time to yourself after that BS on that blog. I like this poem, spoke loud and clear! hugs, catie :)

    First part is brutally beautiful that ends with a very simple but cool last verse - Tim

    goodness, this is searing free verse! some great phrases - "strike with silent rattles" and "just add water friendships" being just two - a blistering write!

    gritty piece peppered with edgy yet wonderful images..."sniffing each others rear"--- a raw description of the inner workings of the character's mind... you slay me with your special brand of poetry, marlon... well done!..:) huggs!

    Special brand or poetry, that's a huge compliment. Literally humbling. Thanks!
  1. Date: 8/31/2012 10:36:00 AM

    Ha! Well, this is a mouthful and a half that you spat out into a strong-voiced poem. Sniffing each other's boom-boom....and then kissing it too! I dig the ending. Lots going on here, Dr. Linton Bradley. I cannot stop from being bit by the pit-vipers; this is harsh reality. So, my soul is a wild horse....wild horses have a natural anti-venom in their blood.

    Thanks Chris. Some emotions can only fuel pleasant truths as this..Wild horses we are then; the stampede has begun! Thanks for the compliment!

    Just add water friendships, that sprout betrayal was exceptionally there to pounce into my mind. So glad i came across these two lines today!

  1. Date: 8/31/2012 6:00:00 AM

    Wow, what can I write that has not been written! Powerful, thought provoking, expressive...I tend to believe there's good in everyone, but I've been told I'm naive and yes I've been hurt many times because of my trusting ways. I'm learning to guard my heart. We cannot let everyone in. Thanks for sharing...hugs, Rhonda

  1. Date: 8/31/2012 5:19:00 AM

    Smh fam...lmao..I tried to quote you on some of the lines that I love but there's too many...I'll just have to say Damn!!!! Great expression of what the World faces from day to day!! Question: How can you determine if the snakes venom is detrimental or not? Hmmm...you probably would have to get bit to find out...so therefore, let's not walk in its territory..lol...wait a min...they're everywhere fam...so we must be prepared and always filled with the word!!!

    After being bit a few, you become immune to the toxins. The last lines are my favorite, it's how I really think! Lmao Thanks fam, the word is the cure!
  1. Date: 8/31/2012 2:25:00 AM

    Boy, you said a mouthful. So profound! Loved your expressiveness. Cindy

  1. Date: 8/31/2012 2:13:00 AM

    We should not be so concerned about what others think, Be who you are - everyone does the best they can. Some like me ..... and some do not like me ... it's just like that. (I do not like all I either ... lol ..) This is a very well written poem ...... be happy my friend! oxox - hug to you / / Anne-Lise :)

  1. Date: 8/31/2012 12:06:00 AM

    Scribe, i think you give us something to think about. I love where your poem is coming from.. Sometimes judging others ricochets .. I like to keep confidence no matter what... love your poem..PD
