A Message To Deliver

I kept looking at the full moon as it burst through the deep blue clouds searching under big trees dark bushes rubble and stores uncovering antiquated act who's sin has painted the house top in black The moon spreads joy and wonder It spills rain water on the kitchen counter and cosign its beautiful light at the reception desk I sat outside at dawn absorbing the contentious heat that kept running like river under my tired feet and messing with my heart beat The moon travels slowly mounting upon hill tops discharging a radiant light that landed on my head agitating the animals and sending the cows in a frenzy I sat there quietly in the moonlight absorbing its energy while black cars drive up the hill forcing the traffic to come to a standstill I am angry, angry at everything, how could you hath done such a terrible thing This burden has rested upon me for months and its getting bigger and bigger I just cannot make a headway I came on a long journey defying all the odds putting on the greatest act that catapult me to the very top I lie I bribe I intimidate I scream I shout and I threatened Everyone is scared of me can't you see the evidence on every street When I entered the ring I thought it was a game but when they start shouting my name reality comes alive and now I am living a viscous lie I didn't do it alone it is all apart of the business and I had to see it through Now I come to ask you to show me the way but you have rejected me and turned your head the other way Even though I did something wrong we can still get along So lets just forget it and pretend that it never happened I didn't come here to ask you questions, I have a message to deliver We will take your possession for all your transgression I came on a long journey to see you And I don't know if my message is getting through I have spent sleepless night praying and travailing Long days wandering through the woods and wading through water And listening to the birds surrendering to your cry Pregnant women are rubbing their bellies waiting on the historical birth The moon is sucking my energy and I am running out of breath When will this journey end I just cannot pretend The days are getting shorter and I still cannot get the answer Here I am on this rock waiting patiently for you I have searched for you persistently to deliver this messages to you The moon is traveling in-front of you And we are waiting on the historical birth
