99 The Assassination of Dark Poetry

by Anthony Brooks

  So in he laid a snake to subdue

 

  As time went on the two grew bored

  So then they sought the snake they saw

  Resting high upon the claw

  Of an eagles grip released to fall

 

  Down to the garden is where it fell

  Awfully sinister as though straight from hell

  The snake insisted that he would dwell

  Amongst the two as they grew dull

 

  The serpent hissed and saw their eyes

  Upon his grip was a curious prize

  Take a bite and see the result your demise

  As the two did listen the plan now alive

 

  The creator saw his children not true

  To his words they did not listen after the clue

  As the result of this he had to subdue

  To banning them to a life like you

 

  The seventh day he thought for a while

  I must make a person with honor to smile

  This man will save the people from their style

  This man will be the hero with guile

 

  And so he created a man of steel

  The man could fly and see through feel

  The mighty one with an S on his chest

  Would be the hero of those with stress

 

  Just in case the humans believed

  That the hero was God he set to deceive

  By putting a weakness in both hero’s knees

  And placing a rock that would be his disease

 

  Now every man has his disease

  Can you feel yours as you rest your please

  God made us all to be like one

  So find out your weakness as it’s all done

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Good vs. good

 

 

  Love sprawls endlessly across this grave

  This grave had no name just a crave

  To rise again to face the beings of save

  A letter would be cast from the shadows of hoods

  The letter was written to the ghosts with blood

  The letter was in awe of good versus good

  Satan’s handwriting across the page

  Deliver this letter with my constant rage

  As the letter was put on the dragons back

  He flew from the grave with the focus of black

  Through the day he bared the sunlight of good

  Knowing God would be the one that would

  As the scripture of names etched on the walls

  The fire from the dragon would be faced in awe

  The letter would wind up on Jesus's door

  Only to be opened by the one that did not fall

  As the letter was opened while the dragon was freed

  A spirit arose from the grave with no creed

  The spirit would choose to remain without good

  For the savior would not know to remove the wood

  As it cast a shadow of ever setting sun

  From his back it did stay as the Good finally won

 

 

 

 

 

  Poetry must die

 

 

  Back with vengeance is what he cried

  Out so loud it made them hide

  The bad ones back so be aware

  His sword just slayed the one your near

  Don’t pray to much for it won’t help

  Your pointless ranting will only speed it up

  The sword of notion has your name etched on

  For your spine is calling as it shimmers in the sun

  I killed peace as well as hope

  I killed the ones that pointlessly spoke

  I got tired of the peaceful roses are red

  Sick of the hopeful words of the dead

  For now is your time to hear the truth

  That it felt so good when my sword entered the youth

  Finally I have been summoned to do the deed

  For poetry is dead as I killed it unseen

  It lays lifeless on the floor waiting for you to breath

  It has no life anymore for you butchered its seams

  Finally you will see that I did it for you

  As you were killing poetry only I saw it through

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  The language of dark

 

 

  The knife entered his chest as his last breath exited his lungs

  The drive of the cold steel blade was inserted without blame

  As the bleeding hand that did the deed released the handle

  He could hear the final gasp of air escape with a name

  The last effort that was whispered silently was "Bariesous endeiknumi ekeinos"

  As the killers hand pulled back in shock and awe

  He could not believe the words that were spoken to him

  The victim was a lifelong advocate of the church

  Now laying dead on the floor he had no one but this lost soul that ended his life

  The killer felt something relieve his cold ways and instill fear instead

  The fear of passion and remorse took over his body

  "Hinati apodidomi ekeinos archo" he exclaimed in his native toungue

  This was the language that all power spoke to their followers

  This was the language of disbelief

  Now the one that stalked and executed the follower of the Lord

  Was no longer allowing himself to follow any other

  The dark one that sent him to end the life of a dedicated speaker of church

  Thought to himself why must I follow another

  The man I killed last words before he was to meet his leader

  Contradicted his ways and form on this earth and time

  I refuse to follow another to do their deeds

  I feel remorse for what I have done

  As the killer stood over the victim he raised his bloody blackened hand high

  Gripping the knife that entered the holy chest as if it were a snake from the garden

  He lunged unto the cold smiling blade as it entered his beating heart

  As he fell onto his victim to pass into the next

  His last breath that was released to no one was

  "Diabolos endeiknumi ekeinos"

 

 

  Translations: (Ancient Greek to English)

  Bariesous endeiknumi ekeinos = Jesus did this to me

  Hinati apodidomi ekeinos archo = Why must he say this

  Diabolos endeiknumi ekeinos = Devil did this to me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Dear Africa

 

 

  Dear Africa I know it has been a while

  I have forgotten what it looks like to see you smile

  I am sorry I have not written it is kind of hard you see

  Being one of your children and asking, have you forgotten me?

 

 

 

  I remember waking up in the mornings it was cold and dreary

  But then I remembered it was you so I need not be weary

/>   I have moved on now and so must you

  You say you don't remember me? I know you do

 

 

 

  Do you remember the time when we would kiss the sun?

  I'd chase you in circles until you were spun

  Yet you still don’t remember me? is this what you say?

  You feel I have abandoned you and left you astray?

  Well let me ask you this, what if it were the other way?

 

 

 

  I always wish that I could see you again

  But would you go back and see the beginning of the end?

  Would you look me in the eye and say it’s still the same?

  If you do you are lying, I know.....it is a shame

 

 

 

  I owe you my soul for all the memories of you

  please say you remember me, so I can be true

  I want to know you knew that I did exist

  I want to know before my giving hand becomes a fist

 

 

 

  It’s hard to me I never said goodbye

  It’s hard to me but you know I do try

  I never did tell you but I think now it is due

  If you choose to forget me, remember "I love you"

 

  Thank you and please support poetry and the freedom to express

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Friends that Bled

 

 

  my heart that beats without a drum

  its cheating starts from your fake glum

  and thundering sounds of natures turn

  instead does pound my beat less churn

  and smell i may of dead man’s waste

  and see i may of dying breeds race

  and hear the sounds of babies cry

  to motherless frowns as the earth now dies

  and again my beat less heart stops dead

  and friends i never knew now bled

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Life Cheater

 

 

  Go ahead you weak headed coward

  Take the pill to cheat on life and see your mind powered

  You can’t see what it’s meant to be

  Instead you swallow pills of ecstasy

  And say your free

  And say you breath

  Inside of me

  Get the hell out of my face you tripping junkie

  It’s just a cliff note version of life that’s handed to me

  I can’t blame you for being weak in the knees

  And falling down when you had the perfect life you see

  So lay your future on the mirror and cut it free

  Roll up a George Washington and sniff it till you mind does bleed

  Just remember your spoiled antics when you watch Africa dying from H.I.V.

  You have no clue how life was meant to be

  I would go deeper and make you really think

  But based on your past you will have to get high to understand my link

  For you need the help of pixie dust to have lust

  I guess you did not love yourself enough to have trust

  You stupid cowards, go ahead and face the reflection

  Drop all the pills you have and promise me you will write me from heaven

  And when you see the Angel of love

  Make sure you do ecstasy so you can actually feel her hug

  Leave your organs to science so they can dissect the meaning of dumb

  I have no
