Skat A Poet Dramatic Monologue

You Will See

YOU  WILL  SEE

It all started with an apple 
One simple little bite
Giving all the love we got 
do not walk towards the light
We already gave it our best shot
This is more than good night
Destine has picked out our slot
Paradise might not be a beauty of a sight
Fire and brimstone  will be a different hot
you will see,
Your body will slowly rot
Ready or not 
its to late to give it your best shot
six feet under at the end is all we got
you will see,
we pass the ages of the flood
we had the time to enjoy and be free
now we live the days blood for blood
you will see,
in this world you have nothing left
you will see,
it will all end in death
Breeding on lust and greed
till the day we take our last breath
you will lay and rest in peace 
That is the only thing,
you will see
   
    I.T.
 S.K.A.T.

Paul Callus November 28, 2015 at 3:38 PM This is a subject that many dread talking about, but it's an inevitable reality and has to be faced. I believe in an afterlife, otherwise what scope would our visit on earth have? Hugs // paul

Poet Destroyer A April 30, 2010 at 9:13 PM right back at you L.) the only thing you will see, is life is not always what it seems to be. later,..p.d.

Doris Culverhouse April 30, 2010 at 7:56 PM the beginning of life as we know it...I did not mean to offend anyone with my poem about MLK. I just want everyone to check out the facts for themselves...that is all. I voted for Bush but I don't agree with everything he did. ya know?

Andrea Dietrich April 30, 2010 at 7:20 PM Hey, girlie, you are waxing all theological on us now?? haha.(that's what I was doing today too with my IN Retro poem) WEird as this sounds, even thogh I believe in the afterlife, sometimes I find myself kind of wishing that the last breath really would be my last. And yet i know we go on. Of that I am very certain.(You Will See) But maybe HOW we go on will take everybody by surprise. I enjoyed this one. Great flow, and thought provoking. LUv, Andrea
