Oblivion1000 Poetry (11)

Eating at the table
All alone
The rain falls like daggers
On his home

The wind howls angerly
Through the creek in the door
A leak in the roof
Allows drips on his floor

An empty seat awaits company
A restless leg taps the ground
The fire prepares for sleep
He pours himself one more round

Pictures hanging lonely
Remind him of the past
Another day to face
It will not be the last

Sometimes I go inside myself
And shut out all thats real
All these years of sorrow
Were never part of the deal

Existing in an intolerable world
Its hard to not feel trapped
I remember innocence
In a world once so well mapped

She talks alot and rarely asks
She changes topic so quick
Distraction is her ruler
Medication to help thoughts stick

Neglect can be a problem
And she has a short temper
She forgets to keep appointments
Its really hard for her

90 miles a minute
Its sometimes hard to keep up
A factory of ideas and thoughts
Oh brain will you ever shut up

Conversation is no obstacle
Intelligent and so bright
Quick to point out mistakes
Also quick to stir up a fight

She feels like shes a failure
That her efforts turn to sand
If it wasnt for this disorder
She could probably rule the land

There was a sudden stir in the night
All was not as it seemed
The old man jumped up with fright
To the wail of the white banshee

She came not for him
But for the one he loved the most
She sat on the wall with a grin
As the man turned pale as a ghost

Take me instead he pleaded
For my wife has many years more
I have sinned enough
Its me who should walk through deaths door

The banshee wailed once again
Then suddenly she was gone
The old man felt it in his heart
That something was terribly wrong

Away to the bedroom he sprinted
To find his beloved wife dead
He reached for his pistol
And shot himself in the head

United again in heaven, he thought.
But this wasnt to be the tale
For she was gone to heaven
And sinners go to hell...

Outside my window
There hangs a lonely sun
Drifting so slowly
Behind the mountain view

Shadows creep closer
Coming to take the light away
The fog begins to make its bed
On the rolling hills

It's late in the Evening
I can see the trawlers coming into bay
The seaguls follow
Hoping for one last meal

Rain clouds creep in from the sea
To change the tone of day
Cattle in a far off place
Say goodnight to all in the land

Solitude through nature
Its beauty captures my senses
Could sit here for hours
And make peace with all there is

It's quite reassuring
To know all the same will happen tomorrow
Outside my window
I can see the evening for what it is

Outside my window
Is the only friend I need

You can take my body,
but my spirit lives on.
My power and my presence
live forever once I'm gone.

Yes I had my doubts,
is there anyone there?
The cruelty on this world,
there's not many here who care.

But I give myself to you,
to the people of the lord.
I sacrifice my body,
please listen to my words.

I've endured all this for you
I've spilled my blood for sin.
All the sins of this torn world,
lay now with me and him.

Please hear my voice again
and believe that good is true.
Don't fall back into evil ways,
for this world needs me and you.

Take our money
Take our gold
Fool us again
Its getting old
Tell us a lie
Increase your wealth
Cant afford much here
In bad health
Fuel prices too high
Cigarettes not cheap
Taxes and bills
I just cant sleep
Something has to give
Someones got to go
We have poor living
And nothing to show
You eat your caviar
While we eat our broth
We sleep in the gutters
While you watch us rot
A time will come
When your empire will fall
And we will be there
To reclaim it all

Traveling this road
To a place Ive never seen
You wont come with me surely
You havent got the time

Darkness waits ahead
Behind the light waits open armed
Its time to make this journey
Time to heal the scars

The rain pours down softly
It trickles down your face
I kiss you on your lips,goodbye
Im going to this place

I'll wait for you there
Whatever time it takes
I'll never forget you
Or that smile upon your face

They took our food, they took our land
They robbed us of our pride
When the bodies started piling up
They kicked them to the side

Forced labour and enslavement
While the tall men had their wine
Onlookers from a golden view
Those men once on our side

No potatos in the pot
No cattle in the fields
Our ancient forests exported
To a land of wealth and greed

No medicine for the sick
No fuel for the fire
No shoes for our feet
In a country run by liars

No religion and no schools
Our language banned from speech
Our ancient music outlawed
Nothing left was free

With no hope left they soon would flee
Away across the ocean
To a land of hope and promise
Now the plan was set in motion

Goodbye cruel Isle forever
Good riddens to your foreign rule
We'll take our chances elsewhere
Never more to play the fool

We'll take our chances elsewhere
Forget your foreign rule...

I had a vision the other day
I saw the future and it looked grey
It doesnt matter which direction we steer
All I know is that the end is near

I saw the terror in the darkness that waits
I saw destruction in the future we'll make
Controlled by greed and numbed by ignorance
Its getting close to humanities last dance


Why bring a child into a crumbling world?
A selfish act just to feel normal
I'll take no part in this toxic scene
You can keep your corrupted machine

Religious disorder,mental rape
Innocent murder,no escape
Allow to be brainwashed,an infectual disease
Open your eyes or fall to your knees

A single breeze sails softly
Lonely winter sun shines down through tree
Upon the snow which has freshly laid
The last leaf of season becomes unmade

The icicle’s cling to branch after branch
The deer watch on in a cautious stance
As the woodcutter gathers all that he can
The sun begins to fall

The lonely song of the robin fades
As the frost begins to set
The endless sound of gentle babble from the stream
Takes throne among the twilight

The cold of night by his side
She rules the land with no remorse
Although seasons come and go
The rest must wait their turn...
