CONTROLLING CHAOS (voices from hell)
Those winged ghosts, fly from malicious throats
Together building
Both the good and the unholy
Falsely free and controlling
Seeding new scum through breeding
Those pompous hermits
Who whisper words from the vermin
Turn dark and loose their fear,
With trickery they take, and connivingly make
Their own judgments appear
Through, bought-and-paid-for, judges
---------------------------------------------
That celebration of Satan, in political debating
Proudly poisoning the masses
The snake in the ears, outwitting and destroying careers
Through cancerous control and taxes
The compelling words of these invisible lords
Have, body and soul, completely tethered
No evil stench, or just way to quench
The Voices From Hell forever
Even while,
With indoctrination's hope
We dive for pearls
And continually come up with
Prophets and prayers
And dreams of gold
That help to control
The chaos...

I'm always happy to find people who are into the paranormal!!...... let me know!!..... and thanx again for the great feedback on my write!!..... appreciate it RACHEL!!......LOVE and ROCKETS!!.....T xo ?☀✴✳
Dark, portentous and written with a keener vehemence than you usually indulge in; the quasi-biblical style thinly veils the very real-world concerns you're addressing.
Your writing often appears to be openly freestyle; word choice/order and line-length seems almost arbitrarily chosen (on the surface!). But the above-quoted lines demonstrate your very deliberate and careful approach to rhyme and patterning which is both a feature of your poetry as a whole and is indicative of a subtle poetic intelligence at work.
Oh...and the image is fantastic!!
Bravo!!!

JASON!! ~ when I read your comments and your comments to others, I find a commonality in your ability to take a poem and find its strong points, break them down with poetic terminology, and then offer them back to the author in a way that even they (themselves) weren't aware that they were doing or employing as the case may be...... and what's so strikingly engaging about this generosity of yours is the perfect blend of humility and braggadocio that you instill and display!! Only a keenly observant and well versed person could leave such helpful and inspiring commentary each and every time!!.....I think we all (mostly?) look forward to your impressions!!..... please....keep up the great work brother poet!!...... and thanks for the kind words on this write as well!!..... your friend and admirer!!......T xo ?☀✴✳♥
This is a great piece, i also love the fact you chose a dali painting for it, he is my artist hero. x x x
Thanx so much CARRIE!!.... glad you noticed the pic was Dali..... he's my favorite surrealist..... I've used his images on many of my poems.....I just can't get enough of him and the inspiration I get from his paintings!!......thanx again!......T xo ?✳✴☀?
