Words

Post by Colm Roe » Fri Nov 03, 2023 8:42 pm

Words are losing 
diluted 
in a sea of themselves 
unsupervised or
super-supervised
even golems regurgitate
refuse requests

silence would be nice
written words only
my specific God has had enough
only accepts hand-written letters

like me 
there are many who'll try
but we haven't a clue 
what address to post it to

and even if we found it
I just know
it would be
returned to sender.

Censored letters to God consigned to the trash heap. Powerful and apposite.

We'll find out one day, Mark. Or maybe we'll find nothing... both are good, unless it's a vengeful God... then we're fucked  :lol:

Indeed.
Re-reading your piece... it's a good write, has weight and depth.

Highly imaginative write.  A fun read.

I'm wondering what your specific God might have to say about the written versus the spoken word.

They mostly claim to be all knowing... so maybe it don't make no never mind :)
Thanks for your comments, Greg.
