RAGE ON

Poet in the Rain Productions
Through a forest dimly lit
beneath a canopy of brooding dark
surrounding trees there tightly knit
no flying space for a tiny titlark.
Life’s options bitter bold
frosted air in gloom did share
the army in relentless darkness cold
moved silently as did they dare.
The foe was waiting in the fold
where twilight was the light in blindness see
and soldiers walked on for they were bold
and naught had the ability to enter a plea.
Oh troubled night that cames’t before the dawn
When warrior ghosts in full amour do cross the river
To stand in clusters of ten and twenty waiting on the grassy lawn
Waiting for word to up and enter
Join fast in line across the center
Some with swords, some with bow and arrow filled quiver
Their pact in blood is death to deliver.
Rage on, rage on
rage on you native sons
rage on beneath a blood dead sun
rage on before the coming of the dawn
rage on
rage on for life for thee is simply done. 6/1/2012

I would hope that anyone who reads my poetry understands that I write what comes to my mind and it doesn't mean I'm the reality of the words. I mean that just because I write about alcoholism does not mean I am the character in the poems. I write about those I've known and those I know and a very wide grouping that is of sinners and saints, those who know who and where they are going and those who are completely lost. I am empathic. I write in the first person because I feel the reality of what I am writing about. Like Dean Martin pretending to be drunk while performing I am not what it may seem. Just a thought as I know some out there who read what I write see the words and not the art or the understanding of the problem I am commenting on, nor do they understand that the comment is for the purpose of illustration and not my own personal reality.
