I've prayed for this vessle but
it is
strange
and strangely satisfying
to
know that
I would have been saved
saved
saved if not
for a moment of
foolishness
A moment of influence that spawned
thousands, millions
of children, twisting
and thrashing
softly
I told them that I was bright
er
smarter, I was born to beat
them but it
turned out differently
funny its
so damn funny how
I could have
avoided
abnormality by
simply lying
down but I am
more than a silent
observer.

Seriously good Nick. You should keep this up. That last stanza could be the basis for a song, too.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really interesting post. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteGood poetry man, keep up the writing. It would be a huge waste of immense talent to do otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAnd the ninja part was awesome! The video was killer, I watched it like nine times!
The use of enjambment to multiply the meanings your lines have here is quite good <------ understatement.
ReplyDeleteonly criticism: "vessle" on the first line it should be "vessel", unless it was intended to be spelled in a non-traditional way... but I can't see a reason for that.
