Your Poetry Dot Com - Children in the Rain

to slay the righteous with the wicked:
and that the righteous should be as the wicked,
that be far from thee.
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

A water fountain dispenses the particles of light
And so they dance

The cold reminder of all that passed
Self awareness and obtuse reflection
Spit back a frame of reference
From where we begin to learn again

The right to challenge
all that is love,
all that wisdom,
all that is justice

If you give your senses freely away
You are at the mercy of what the noble men say
And so you dance

The revisionists who differ even among themselves
A passage of rhetoric from one to the next
Sorted and filed in a wondrous index
Ignoring the context
Of which miracle they spoke of with such zest
Zealots,
Extremist,
No doubt will object
To the plot that fits a new agenda unlike last
And so the vision dances

A siege of perspective
Intermingled patrons of brand name love
Stamped
Marketed
With the approval from above
Let us not be the one to judge
To cause such pain
Let it dance like children in the rain

“That be far from thee to do after this manner,
to slay the righteous with the wicked:
and that the righteous should be as the wicked,
that be far from thee.
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

A water fountain dispenses the particles of light
And so they dance

The cold reminder of all that passed
Self awareness and obtuse reflection
Spit back a frame of reference
From where we begin to learn again

The right to challenge
all that is love,
all that wisdom,
all that is justice

If you give your senses freely away
You are at the mercy of what the noble men say
And so you dance

The revisionists who differ even among themselves
A passage of rhetoric from one to the next

Of which miracle they spoke of with such zest

To the plot that fits a new agenda unlike last
And so the vision dances

A siege of perspective
Intermingled patrons of brand name love
Stamped

With the approval from above
Let us not be the one to judge
To cause such pain
Let it dance like children in the rain
