A N I M A L S
The needle scratces
filtered sounds float wispy as smokeÂ
whimsical to ears
as a certain pungent smell
craved by nose and tongue,
could be a mellow melodic prayer
or a poisonous possesser
without cautious care;
Although.....
with what's about to boom in air
should, by then be critically seized in mead
and I don't care.
Apparent oinkers
revel in their slop,
throw the dogs a bone
knowing
they'll eat it up.
So easily manipulating pen
follower sheep
listen on lives, sacrificial souls spent,
without lost litlle lambs
no dogs of doomÂ
would set off to roam
staying hungry,Â
always without home.
Pigs!
Bathing filthy
coming out clean,
thunder drums
feeling it, mean....
electric riffing strings
no jamming mesmerized head
wishes to make sense of better things;
Echoes synthesizer reigning tunes
sun taps out to animal's moon,Â
Are we hiddenÂ
within shadows
of former selves?
Born a pig, a dog, a sheep
with nihilistic speculationsÂ
never dream in plenty sleep,
nature takes weight                        a shape
coming into it's own.
In a wooden box
black vinylÂ
spins silent.....
sheets to the wind
staring off dog,
at a mad, madÂ
world.

So you got this style, Devon....edgy and yes f..ing incredible, to be sure...the combination of intelligence and unbridled energy in music is powerfully constructed and conveyed with no wasted words, I like this pull quote quite a lot

you capture the 'spirit' of Pink Floyd and more, it's a remarkable poem you conjured up my friend, well written and uniquely flavored, poetry that says something to think about, beyond the obvious, very cool....cheers  Â
Awesome Christopher lol. What I wanted to convey was a night chilling out to a record and Animals is just one of those albums to drink to and explain how I felt about what they were singing about or what the album was all about. Their ideas are a bit different but really cool, and that album is just so damn amazing all the way through. Your a good man thank you so much for this. Love and peace my friend.
Wow!! ~ DEVON!! ~ I LOVE this!! ~ "..critically seized in mead.."....couple brewski's never hurt the imagination or the enjoyment when listening to something as magnificent as the creativity of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd!!........I had to pin this man........it's a total creative joy ride......from the formatting to the amazing phrasing, as  well as the way you conveyed the "unbridled power of music" like Chris iterated so keenly! I friggin' Love the final stanza....."staring off dog......."....brilliant my friend........be proud.......you're a gifted writer.......continue down this path and ANYTHING is possible........well done bro!!.........talk to ya!!.........T xo
Thank you so much T. I really wanted to capture not just my emotions while listening but the inside of the music that bands like Pink Floyd and Genesis and so many others not only produced such legendary sounds and music but had a whole performance of a show with a storyline full of meaning and it just goes hand in hand with real life poetry. Appreciate this comment tremendously my friend. Love and peace.
A tough truthful write.
Thank you Kimmy. I would like to think so, trying to convey what they are singing about in their words wasn't easy, it was the inspiration that propelled me through. Peace brother.
Keep up the great work.
Love this committed piece which I can tell you put much into.
Take care my friend. Â :)
Thank you Richard. I believe this was Pink Floyd's last real masterpiece before they started to break away and do their own thing but it is an easy favorite with all the instrumentals and bad ass sounds. How could one believe that with just five songs on an album and you could be wowed. I wrote with feeling and to my knowledge of what the words spoke unto me. Richard you do the same my man. Peace.
Love and peace to you my friend.
