Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Strung Over

I’m just an Ain’t Broken watchman,
speaking truth until  I’m Ungrateful Dead,
with a Rorschach sackcloth over my head
Dangerously living the Master plan

Beware!!  Don’t eat the poisonous strange fruit hanging ... 
the beaten pulp will intoxicate
Fill a heart with drunken hate
Dr. Manhattan remedy ain’t Strangelove cure changing

Joker card rope trumped the ace Spade,
see the Comedian laugh at the strung over pain
Got the birds of prey condor singing in the rain:
Heard that’s how a mob man got made

Time, it’s a ticking bomb to Apocalypse Now,
but the Silk Spectre don’t black widow veil care
Listen to the Nite Owl a-hooting in the nuke air,
as the swaying blood harvest is not cut down

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 31, 2019 at 7:08 PM My PSoup peeps ... the Rorschach [sack]cloth over my head line is referencing the HBO "Watchmen" series. In this alternate American History X, the Seventh Kalvary (that was Gen. Custer's regiment) are the domestic terrorist version of our KKK. Their "ghost face" is a Rorschach cloth. I get one put over my head before being mob lynched. Now you all know the backstory behind the poem. Ty for your kind comments. Love and peace always.

Kim Rodrigues October 31, 2019 at 10:36 AM Cool and crazy (?) imagery - with a Rorschach sackcloth over my head.
