Chasing the Many Faced God

"Chasing The Many Faces of God ( We the People Series)

There they are__ made each day no shame, no disgrace... 
Constant reminders of who controls the human race. 

We wake up every morning and get hot on the chase... 
gotta get the God with big numbers on his face... 
gotta hurry along... got no time to waste... 
gotta be first in line_ anyhow in any case. 

Jamming down my food, pimping my style in great haste... 
no time to pull up my pants or tie my shoelace.... 
grabbing coke and candy_ gotta keep up the pace... 
sodas, coffee, caffeine_ smoking crack-freebase. 

Looking up in the air, and down in any space_ .... 
over here or there_ it could be any place.... 
cheating through life_ up my sleeve_ a spare ace.... 
lies are the present _ truth is gone without a trace. 

There they are__ made each day no shame, no disgrace... 
constant reminders of who controls the human race. 
persisting un regrettable unabatedly to abase... 
our raped souls_ with anything antidepressant laced.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/31/2019 8:34:00 AM I LOVE this powerful truth poem, Niyna! It is spot-on, straight ghetto to the bone. (The meaning behind that saying is in my poem, "Makeover.") The last stanza is stellar. Could sit and read your poetry all day ... it that good. You serve such delicious PSoup. Wonderful debut poem ... and a gracious belated welcome to you, a talented poetess w/boundless sky ink skills. Love and smiles and smiles of joy forever.

I am grateful to be apart of this poetry group and humbly appreciate you taking time out of your life to read and comment. Thank you so much! ~~~Niyna I, too, am attracted to titles. You even left me a yellow brick road to follow... "Makeover" "If it takes Forever"... I'm on it :) Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/31/2019 8:38:00 AM Btw, you have a rare knack for penning great titles, Niyna. Creative titles hook my eyes and pull me into your sea of thoughts and feelings. You are a fisher of souls for real! Was listening to the island chill groove song, "If It Takes Forever," by Michael e. while reading this cerebral poem. Love and joy always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Guym4_7cfjU

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/10/2019 12:00:00 AM Denise, welcome to Poetry Soup. "lies are the present _ truth is gone without a trace. " This is so true quite often! Well done indeed. I enjoyed it. Login to Reply Niyna Desangre Date: 6/10/2019 2:28:00 PM Thanks Caren for your welcome!... I am a novice writer and found it amazing. The many forms of poetry is mind boggling. I haven't a clue as to the style. I will, hopefully, learn as I go. You are my first read on the soup!
