This Is War!
by Jersey D Gibson
Can you hear your knuckles crack,
breaking under the strain?
Can you hear your teeth grind,
nubbed down, not feeling pain.
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
Can you feel the bones that break,
inflicting on the strain?
Can you feel the blood run cold,
you just ignore the pain.
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is a war between us!
(you gotta pick sides)
This is a war between us!
(twisted, screamed and cried)
This is a war between us!
(gonna win by a landslide)
This is a war between us!
(can't you give up and die?)
Can you feel the pulse pick up,
beating much faster?
Can you feel the anger boil,
who is your master.
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
Can you hear the sirens call,
singing out your doom?
Can you feel the neck snap,
locked you in a tomb.
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is all your fault!
This is a war between us!
(you gotta pick sides)
This is a war between us!
(twisted, screamed and cried)
This is a war between us!
(gonna win by a landslide)
This is a war between us!
(can't you give up and die?)
Let's go to war!
(let's go to war!)
Let's go to war!
(let's go to war!)
Let's go to war!
(let's go to war!)
Let's go to war!
(let's go to war!)

I can feel the conflict in the words & emotions. The form is almost like marching and rapid gunfire. And maybe, I can hear that in the beat of the words you've written.

| Posted by Jim Benz on 12/04/05 at 05:25 AM very primal, very effective and meaningful. good poem. |
| Posted by James Cavet on 12/09/05 at 12:15 PM Very lyrical and frantic. In my head it was loud and being shouted rather than spoken. True to the core. I like it. |
