Blotted Out

reading the rhymes in the lambs book of life...reality that cuts cold like a knife reading the raps and the riddles...never a slave to the devil and his 1000 string fiddles i see the sights and hear the sounds of a billion sinner souls that scream and shout... blotted out snatch the silver and grab the gold rob the riches...ride and roll make the money...clock the cash...piles of paper turn to ash mice and men they go astray...off to races filled with rage burn the book and turn the page under the spotlight they're melting on the stage no brakes on the blasphemy bus...some fools just can't stop... blotted out mad magicians keep turning tricks with soul subtraction coins gettin flipped droppin dimes in bottomless wells insane...infected...sickened spells sing the song and tell the tale the doomed they weep and wail with need and want... blotted out spiders and snakes all hatching eggs...drugees,dummies,drooling dregs snares and traps and stuck in wicked webs hell and horror...chained to beds killed with kisses of the dead locked and loaded...several times shot blotted out standing at the gates they all spew curses rants of rage and venomous verses waiting on those long black herses that drag them to hades no more money,mansions or million dollar mercedes too late to turn back as their names get dropped... blotted out

There are a lot of evil people in our world, Anthony. All we can do is pray for their souls. This is a powerful write, my friend. Love, Carolyn ps - I LOVE Jim Morrison and the Doors were way ahead of their time. What a great voice Morrison had!
