Anthony Beesley Poet Rhyme

It Is Finished

Last words...last rites...no more day...no more night
Sweet surrender...fever...fright
Taking that south bound subway ride
Eternal exit...entrance in
Running and never replinished...darkness diminished
IT IS FINISHED

Anger...hatred...all on fire
Chariots they crash...wreck the weak
Marching madmen...barking beasts
Rising...falling...waking sleep
Creeping...crawling...cold as ice
Insanity and ignorace...darkness diminsihed
IT IS FINISHED

Deduction...drained...subtract...sustain
Dirty needles...wounded veins
Queens bring pleasure...kings bring pain
Tears of terror...trenches...treasure
Misery it has no measure
Diamonds...ditches...skidmarks...stitches...darkness diminished
IT IS FINISHED

Sinners...saints...winners...losers
Junkies...clowns...cadavers...cruisers
Carnivals for criminals...length of lies...subliminal
Pennies...nickles...dimes...quarters
Execution...follow orders
Nails in crosses...flesh...blood...bones
Knocking loud but nobody's home
Rise to Heaven...Fall to Hell
Tell the truth and time will tell
Marked for madness...final feast...darkness diminished
IT IS FINISHED

Elizabeth Wesley July 24, 2011 at 12:01 AM Dark and deep with such an emotional feel to it. Veery meaningful.

Michelle Mac Donald February 28, 2011 at 10:35 AM Hi Anthony. Like usual, you don't waste your nails nor time, building birdhouses. A powerful piece driven by something "FINISHED". Darkened images create a panorama of gloom and obscuity. Written with passion and vehemence. Take care and keep well...Mikki
