[hometext] => Orphans are goals and dreams that we supress
[bodytext] => EAT THE ORPHANS By Marty RicKard Why do you drive spikes into your own brain Why don’t you act to ease the pain Don’t you hear the orphans call Or are they too close for you to hear at all Perhaps it’s the number Too many messages becomes none One sting makes you cry yet you assimilate the many —embrace stimulus —ignore stimuli They are everywhere —pleading They swim in the light you breathe and in the glowering darkness where you pretend sleep while silence sits upon your chest like a grinding stone and though you won’t see them you are never alone They are with you always Time can’t be wasted life can Vapor rises from your bowl the leaving invisible the lessening obvious while you abuse innocence The noisy venom of your voice cracks like senseless gunfire over the ass of your faithful ox while the earth around you sweats Answer the orphaned hungers Hear their painful pleas as they tumble in your belly like white-hot rocks in a lapidary drum Eat the fire and it shall go out You gave up what you had before you got what you wanted and now you walk on cinders and demons haunt you and the butterflies have deserted you Is there hope for you self-blinded self-deafened screamer with too much time and not enough life on your hands How vile is your hunger You must have love but first you must love You must love enough to eat the orphans Only then will you sleep [comments] => 3 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 19 [informant] => ToughPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

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. ©
