Exclaimations!- Verses I thru III

[hester_prynne]

I
Shouting to nowhere!
To nothing!
To no effect!
In overflowing,
derelict!
Heaven hath taken me!
To Hell!

II
Praying to misery!
To save us!
From happiness!
In dismal,
baptismals!
Joy is overshadowed!
By guilt!

III
Saluting humanity!
With bastards!
And whores!
In secret,
iniquities!
Justice is overruled!
By all!

I invite you to add your own exclaimations to this thread.
(Before you know it, we'll have ourselves a Bible!)

[creativesoul]

looking down my nose
at those
that wish to be enetrtained
came here all empty sloshing and stinking
of the very best wine
asking me to put my heart an soul out under the smoke and lights
to the merriment of the audience
I rip open
words flutter off my tongue like a millon butterflies
the sweet sugar of inflamed intellect and wit
are combined to keep us here in hope
of a transformational evening
I lie
because surely I cannot be this interesting
I dramatize
i ask for favor and cheer
i smile
i pretend that there is nothing wrong, not at all, with me, with you, with all of us
the lights dim
i present a more vulnerable pocket of words and surprise
i stand errect in delivery and stance
the emotional body has stolen a moment of privacy
hair balls of an older cat howl in heat
I remeber suddenly
that I am to tease and put my scent all around
cleverly
i ask for answers and my skull feels thick
the lights go out
people clap
i feel better
but i know it was just luck and words

VI
Verily I sayeth unto you!
The Constitution should be the Bible!
Well, except for all that help the poor stuff!
It is written, blessed are the money changers!
For the love of money is the root of all profit!
For the wages of war are righteous!

VII
I went down to the land of Huckabee,
To round up God's chosen righteous flock.
He said necrophilia has 'been 'institutionalized!',
and many other bizarre claims 'round the clock.
He travels the land, thumps bound leather with bare hands,
And the flock said 'hallelujah!', then 'huh?'

VIII
And the Lord was displeased,
and shook the ground in a brimstone cloud.
His command roared from burning Bushes,
No Bible near-limericks are allowed!!


IX
Praise the Lord, Bush had more $$ense,
He went forth grasping his staff in his hand,
declared himself a righteous War President,
ravaged Mesopotamia to make a new bounty.
Verily, thy name shall be Nu American Century.
No bid contracts shall fall like manna from Cheney,
for the chosen ones in lands of milk and honey,
(and oil)...

Wow...
Political verses in the Bible (and even slightly cynical)...
Wasn't sure if that's what you had in mind...
Ahhh yess.

Hear ye oh sons and daughters!
ye who lurk timidly!
in the indecision of rights!
wrongs,!
ye who must eat!
indeed the Bible
is full of politic!
and schtick!
we all must be
unquick!
in what and whom!
what we think we know!
It's all rot! rot! rot!@#$!!!!!
