Description
God called in sick today,and the sky is dancing.
People walked hand in hand
singing in tune with the damned.
Running without stories
βthis is what tragedy feels likeβ
dead is the new alive
but misery loves company.
Racing with the devil
one doesn't dare stop against
the lord of the damned
he laughs against the concrete.
Can one play with madness
as they dance on clouds of mind?
Heavens a lie when butterflies are flying in hurricanes
And God takes a day off.
Wasted time throwing rocks at stars
souls refuse their eternal rest
they drink a cup of galaxy for breakfast
hymn of the shameless.
Obsession is an ugly word.
When dead becomes the new alive
the devil walks the earth
and God takes a day off work.

Really evocative! I didn't quite understand what the deal was with the devil "laughing against the concrete" but I love the flow of this piece, and so much of the imagery. I like the combination of the subtle horror and strange jubilation. It questions and challenges, and that's really awesome! Great poetry!

I liked the concept, but didn't care much for the execution. Sorry, just giving my two cents.

Not bad. Can't say I like the title though. Opening yourself up for comparison to Dave Havok and Charles Baudelaire is risky.

Very true, luckily I haven't been compared to them yet

I've never honestly used the phrase " this blew my mind" before, but I intend to use it now, cause I feel that my mind has definitely been shattered to pieces ( in a good way ). I can completely picture the chaos, and how humans revel in sudden freedom after abandoning their moral conscience when God takes a day off.

Oh my thank you so much! I feel so honored that one of my pieces could blow your mind.

This poem is even more profound when you consider the possibility that God has already left for a while and that that's our current world. Overall this gave me chills. I loved your language and how you used words like "damned" and "galaxy"--abstract words that would give the work more depth and yet not words that are too over-used to have lost their meaning.

Oh my gosh...you're totally right.

I loved the imagery, though it made me think of the recent string of tornadoes in Oklahoma.

Those poor people, I do hope they're okay.

This is a lovely piece, but I feel I should point out that 'dammed' should be 'damned'.

That's okay, I'm just writing about what I think would happen if God took a day off

Is there an Emilie Autumn reference in here? "Dead is the New Alive?", "Misery Loves company?". This is awesome by the way.

Yes! I'm so happy that someone saw it.

That's immediately what I thought when I saw those lines. XD
