The death of poetry

The death of poetry

What's the point of poetry
Would you put me in the ground
Within a wooden casket
Thy Kingdom come
They will be done
As in heaven 
Inscribed into the good book
Thy poetry with which you took
And died for 

 

What's the point of poetry
As you stumble across the theatre floor
Dripping blood from door to door
Thy Kingdom come
In heaven and hell
Unto death 
Reacheth me
With an outstretched arm 
Beckoning Mercy 

Silence has come for a moment
This too shall pass

The death of poetry

I believe you live on in every word ever spoken
And venture throughout world's on written pages
In death our bodies cease though a soul outlived
The ages, nice write Jai
Much love nardine xox
