Scarred For Life

The needle hums silenced only by the whispers of pain it chews upon my naked skin and it's there my flesh will never be the same Another story told in a picture begins to unfold written and directed by my imagination produced by another so the story can be told Tho, judgement comes swift for those who are scarred it's a shame the narrow-minded refuse to see it as an art rather... something unclean and hidden that should remain in the dark Finished i stare at my creation which is so deeply shaded yet vivid, with brilliant splashes of ink that i cant help but wonder when i'm standing at the gates what will the angels think

Interesting take on tattooing Kurt. I don't have any myself, but as Sharon mentioned below. They can be works of art >> James

Interesting thoughts that you have penned in this one.Not sure exactly what you're talking about..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my poem "Gushing Destruction"..John the writer of Revelations was from a different day and age seeing into the future by revelation of God and he had no way of knowing exactly what he was seeing since he had not seen things like cars, trucks, army equipment, A-bombs, H-bombs,etc..So it is possible that some of the things that we are experiencing is that.SK

Great poem, and some tattoos are most definitely art. Never plucked up the courage to get one myself though. Enjoyed the read ~ Sharon :)
