Angels Burning

Post by **Lightning Rod** » July 20th, 2007, 10:16 am

I'm a soldier on crack jihad
I live in my fatigues
sleep in my body armor
and attack before dawn

I'm a criminal in the night
possessed. Meth-head hijack
a flaming NASCAR wreck
don't cross my lane sucker

I'm a blackmail schizopath
a furnace breathing asbestos goo
take me to court and I won't show up
I should have been a Scorpio

I'm a lower god than Satan
who nobody knows was a socialist
hell rings with my desire
and the stench of angel wings on fire

I'm a solar system rampant
Immune to criticism in a singular orbit
a mass of ganglia running on sunlight
and gravity and the centrifugal sling

I don't miss a thing when I'm counting cards
or tallying souls in the seventh ring
the wrestler in me is in love with show biz
I'll curse god till he takes my soul

i'm a soldier high on the blast, that's all,
crocked on the concussion of it all...
God, we just can't get enough of it...

A scorpio socialist, I
slay rattelsnakes and I apply
their skin to my feet
since no cowboy's complete
without a good bootlegged goodbye--

So dressed, I give Satan a glance
and I ask if he might like to dance--
and Satan might try
to kill me, but I
would rather leave heaven that chance,

but why would the heavens me kill
when I'm such a star in the chill
of cold outer spaced?
Asbestos replaced
the chance of my fires to thrill.

I orbit; yet I'm unaware
in this dance: with whom do I pair?
I circle a sun
and yet I'm the one
who moons all the earths everywhere.

mnaz--the concussion of life can be fatal, but I think the VA will ignore you anyway

Perdida--thanks for reading and appreciating what I was going for.

joel--wonderful limerickal response

there once was a lemur named rick
most people thought him a prick
with his head in the sky
he was quite a nice guy
that's why he's called Lemur Rick

A microscopic truth bouquet.
In a Hard ass shell.
