It's-killing-us

The coldness of your methodical emptiness shrewdly poisoned me with a darkness Unavoidable. I'll make it, some how. You tainted me with rugged blood, I saw it splatter over the spacious past unto The nihilistic future of all saints and devils. But, why? There's something to your non verbal speech I'd love to find out. We listen to your silence The very thing that permeates our surroundings. And find utter nothingness. You committed suicide, We won't make it if you are sleeping on the job. Somehow, we believe you rose from hellfire, Yet still flagrantly asleep in a world where you Never existed. Explain this corruption now breathing in our veins? And if it's all the same to non-existent you, It's killing us just the same.

Charles, I am a speech coach at a small high school, with a student who would like to use your poem for a compilation of pieces she is using for competition. Are you willing to allow use with permission, with attribution of course? Thanks for considering.

Hi, Terry! Of course it may be used, it is of my opinion that those who aren't exposed to poetry normally, can benefit greatly from different perspectives on various topics. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
