Long Clawed Devil Clown

We each within our self, deep down
Beneath the web of waking thoughts
Keep us a long clawed devil clown,
The image of our haunting fears and doubts.

He roared our fathers full of madness
Salting all the seven seas with tears
While crumbling empires fought to bless
The image of the prison of their fears

We shall rise anew, my good friends!
The mountain of doubt dividing us
Has reached the summit and now sends
Its peak self-piercing in a final thrust:

Though our fathers caged the devil clown,
Let's set him free and pass the pipe around.

Beata Agustin Date: 5/14/2024 6:33:00 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet 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.

Poet Destroyer A Date: 5/15/2016 1:05:00 AM Los Laymen,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
