a poem by Joshua Brown
Suppressor of this blunt wound to shoulder
Criminal act normalized by recreational drugs
"Death to America!" the drug addicts shout
Not with their words but verity actions tell
Wicked presence of demon re-creations
Pretend worlds built by those named Christ
"Don't you know? We did the best we could?
Oops. Oh well. Suck our dick and swallow."
Power thrills against the Princess kind
A mild name among the terrorists spoken
An allusion to the sophistry being foisted
By the kings of the earth, royal decrees heap
Blood nastily spilling across the black mirror
Into my pure eyes forging flames that rip
The tragic skin off of their corpse that walks
Dominate over this blank world of tricks
As I sink further into the shifting sand plain
I see a giant mirror casting back at me frames
Of my own consumption of the unblessed
And in my dead eyes I see the last shimmer
Reprobate intimacy against the flesh of hers
A shrill screech pierces the noisy streets
The flying steel boxes grind to a halt yet
Still the horror call to the monsters raises
Not the monsters of Hell:
Heaven's monsters.

Thanks for reading my poem! This one was written in south Aurora, Colorado, United States on the RTD Bus 153 which runs along Chambers Rd on December 20, 2022. Also, read my last poem "Raven in the Rink" which is a contemplation on the eternality of evil. It discusses Hitler, Playboy and police brutality. I think it's a beautiful poem that all people should read.
Make sure to comment below! I'd love to hear your feedback and I'd also love to start collecting reviews to help my reach.
