The Harlequin 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 [font=gothic][color=indigo]God never had a minimilist sense of advertising Satan never knew realised the power of television We danced around the fire that night They looked upon us in confusion and shame God gave us discipline, to swath us up in wool Satan gave us chaos, to live life to the full The mad dance rolled ever on And they shook their heads and moaned God inspired plague, humans respond to fear Satan gave us temptation, fed God's plan The dancers stumbled in their paths They laughed, thinking they had gotten somewhere God repeated his ploy, codified his world Satan held a counter-protest, to appeal to the reactionaries The dance broke into facets They were frustrated by the polarisation God sighed, and relaxed his iron demands Satan muttered, and conceded a need for stability The dancers smiled politely, and sipped their drinks. They left an empty floor. God and Satan sipped their own drinks, and finally as one, they swore. The dancers found a new tune. God and Satan found humility. The moral of the story? Whatever you like. It's your tune.[/font][/color] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raiha 1 Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=royalblue]I somehow doubt Satan has learend ANYTHING about humility in the past millenia. If anything, he's more cocky than you. Congratulations on migrating this far.[/color] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenstorture 0 Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 [color=darkgreen][font=gothic]I love you so much, you are a god, and this proves it... Lauryn, a great lover and critic of poetry simply wept when she read it. Then she wept when she didn't read it, and laughed when I pinched her on the arm. Hard. So, anyway, praise from both a public and a privately educated person. [/color][/font] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avatarofkaine 0 Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 And so it would seem that both extremes have relented and left us to rot in mediocrity. I found that little snippet of creativity to be most poignant. Though I would have to wonder if beings of such extremes could ever exhist humbly. That is of course working under the assumption they exhist in the first place... which is not really a topic of discussion I think this poem was to create. But then what do I know. The way I switch viewpoints I should really start wondering if I have multiple personalities, least I won't get lonely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Harlequin 0 Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 [font=gothic][color=indigo]Nah, MPD doesn't really have a lot to do with it. It's not really a viewpoint kind of thing, or religous/social commentary even...Just an excuse to use the phrase "minimalist sense of advertising"....[/font][/color] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
