liberation of the Essence
by Michele Schottelkorbliberation of the Essence
{in your soul-less bunker
sickness transcends
wakefulness transforms
and madness transcribes}
did you think it would be easy
to twist my visage
from love to hate?
I renounce you
And your sordid ways
{cackle softly to the wall
no one hears your vile intentions~
anymore}
~a choice to shun those that would destroy you~
liberation of the Essence is mine

| Posted by Ashok Sharda on 03/21/04 at 03:43 AM '~a choice to shun those that would destroy you~, you said it but in anger. Pity these soul less souls. Turn them into NoBODY's if you can't feel sad for them.In any case, Shunning means they don't exist.They are not. Why angry? haha |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 03/24/04 at 12:28 PM this poem tastes to me like black coffee, just the way I like it, and I wouldn't think to adulterate or compromise its tone with milk or sugar or other such confectionary. Thanks for this cup, Michele. |

This would be me talking to myself :> Many influences and cross-referenced content...the use of symbols for inference of intent and perspective has precedents - I guess familiarity breeds content :) I feel some affinity for this, and the same for your 'bio' track raining down on me... |
