WARNING: Might be offensive.
When the void became a canvas the lord abandoned us.
Every thread met the same end.
When all else fails and all that's left is faith it's just in time
And all I've known that lives outside it's just not worth the lines
When all's been said and all that's left is read between the lies
When all's been seen for certain; some say that's when reason dies
I've been trying something similar with poetry and found a balance by making intentionally terrible poetry alongside the overly gradiose;
Sternum
Gradiently dissipate
Gradually loose your state
Your mind your kind of thought
Yoke your head when it's taught
Unwind the lines tied intertwined
And find the thread that's not
Fasten to a windowframe and climb
Down to earth
Catch a glimpse of the plateau in time
To wind through words
Recall the fall in all its detail
The horizon blocks our vision
For all our talk of mountaintops
We've settled with the fishes
Concrete shoes and rebar bones
Neon tombs and three-barred tomes
Freon blood in crazy straw veins
Hearts of balled up cellophane
Skin of stretched out plastic bags
Muscles dried elastic bands
Pulp and sap and dust and resin
We have a hierarchy
Built on higher trees
We've found our peace in white noise
Vision in focus and straining our eyes
Beat the beasts with ignorance
And distance
Drummed with every hit efficient
Hunted in our reach
Starved out our backyards
Moved to the beaches
Over-fished and hopeless wished
For bottomless wells
And clear tells
U-Bend
Behold
The expanse
Try to
Keep it your pants
Flyin through
The Stratosphere
Cause these rhymes are
Just the baddest here
I am your all
And it tears you apart
Reaching for my toes
But they're a bit too far
Loving all my leavings
Shape them into hearts
String around your neck
Leaves it hovering at eye level
I'm the gargoyle
And you're just the shovel
The potato bug scuttling through cracks
I'm the golden scarab grown wings
With a thick thorax
I'm the crown on the king
You're a baby crowning
I'm what's left
You're a pleb
I'm your uncle
You're a muggle
Having tuggles
At my selfies
Your longing
Sustains me
Bologna
With mayonnaise
I'm the egg
You're hollandaise
You're the week
I'm holidays
I'm the roof
You're the chaise
I'm the cow
You're the cheese
I'm the big dog
You're the fleas
Sliced bread is dead
I'm the biggest thing
Since my head
I'm the cremhole
You're the toilet bowl
I'm the pipes
You're the fluid
I'm what's right
You're what you're doing
I'm twelve o' clock
You're a second hand stuck
I'm the pharaoh
You're a storm
Sorry this is so long, but as you can see I tried to fill both poems/ songs with power sentences and U-Bend came out beautifully. I didn't realize it would alter the cuss words. cremhole and storm were changed, maybe for the best.
