[hometext] => This piece is very open to interpretation... but just as a hint - my intent was to have each child represent a major religion...
[bodytext] => Afore there lived a godless king oblivious to sin But being bored and malcontent with facile life He wanted happiness and purpose for his kin For they were all he had without his departed wife He found four wisemen to instruct them for the nonce They had agreed to discipline them in their ways But when he asked about his daughters and his sons Here, is what each sagacious scholar had to say: "She has been slain by your relentless, prideful son For he determined that her faith had been misplaced Though you may grieve that gentle Genevieve has gone Remember, she's with God and it was not a waste" "Your virtuous son was killed in duty for the Lord Although you may lament the death of valiant Devan He underwent the Holy mission of his own accord And thus, absolved, he should be on his way to Heaven" "The brazen folly of her sibling lead to her demise You mustn't mourn your sweet and innocent Savanna She studied arduously and became devout and wise Therefore I know that she will surely reach Nirvana" "Misguided is your sorrow for the tragic fate of Chad Dispite his suicide, there is no reason to be grim Without compunction, i assure you - he was glad For in that selfless act, the heathens burned with him" "Now there is no one left to claim the royal epithet" "My lineage is gone," exclaimed the king, distraught "Yet even still you really have no reason to regret" Rebuked the mocking wisemen, "you distress for naught" "They may be dead while you don't have an heir None of this matters, for there's no one to offend Just close your eyes - soon you won't even care For as you say there's only darkness at the end" [comments] => 1 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 56 [informant] => LewsTherin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => sarcasticpoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
