Array ( [sid] => 3178 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Bookkeeper [time] => 2002-09-01 19:36:01 [hometext] => This is a song about hypocracy and being on the right path in life. [bodytext] => Cold damp and solid,
the stones inside the church,
the water runs over,
silent since the Birth.

A thief in the night,
in the cold,
wrapped in cloth,
looking to save
the world
with his breath
creeps,
walks around
disappears
in the dark.
Close your eyes
close them tight.
You are safe,
my girl.

And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.

A book of Latin,
Book of Angels,
Book of Wisdom,
Books of Sin,
Pray humility and wait
for secrecy within
Eraser-man is coming
and Eraser-man will win.
Everything got quiet
when I mentioned
Books of Sin.
One way’s God’s,
One is not
Which is which
though, friend?

And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.
And the ledger burns.

Eraser-man is coming
and Eraser-man will win.
Tell me now,
my children,
where your path will end. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 425 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Butterat_Zool [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Eraser-man... I guess that would be a good way to describe Him, however I don't think anything will be erased, how could we learn if we have nothing to look back on? Good write, and although my days are filled with sin... I look forward to His loving embrace.

Hmm... I never even thought that God could be descibed as Eraser-man. I am constantly amazed by my biases towards my own poems. I suppose i just need to learn how to write more blatantly. Eraser-man is censorship, or at least, it was intended to be. A ledger is a records-book. All the records books were being burned. Thus, censorship. That's who i see as Eraser-man.

I like it very good and interesting.

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. Â©
