It is difficult to perform
When you’re being watched
As eyes peer through
In stressful feathers
Moments crumble beneath the weight of forever

Three angles who all look the same
A fantastic view as they cross pathways to heaven
Enter the subsequent earthly vibration
As energy percolates
Gravity prohibits divine circulation

a candle guides
a voice revives
a lost belief
almost in grief
abundant tears
anonymous cares
antiquated -
and left for dead

Platform to preach
Classroom to teach
Words to reach
People in need
Vultures that feed
Off bodies that bleed
Into pools of disease
A cruel unease
Sets in the knees
As they buckle and freeze
With prison to beat
Drugs to eat
Slugs to clean
Chemicals to sniff
Biological rift
Topographical rips
Continental drift
Maps marked with spit
Particles don’t fit
Sit down
I must insist!

A clever disguise
You live and die

Although the misspelling of angels created a bump in the flow, this poem was danged enjoyable! And good. Quick hitting thought lines of life --- and dying. Can't wait to die so I can read what ya write about Hereafter, but I'd appreciate it if you'd write about the Hereafter now and post it to YPDC so I don't have to die!

Oh how I would love to know the thoughts behind this clever piece...I like the casual gait to kick it off, that quickly- and relentlessly- becomes a death march of footprints stamped on the readers mind.
