Na/GloPoWriMo Day 23 and the challenge is to write something pertinent to the incorporation of spoken word overheard or part of the fabric of surrounding society. In that all language more or less falls under these broad categories, I selected a similar but different scattegory… that of a phrase overheard from a mini-series I’m watching on Netflix.
In A World Without God by Michael Romani In a world without God And where the mere mention Is something that is outlawed There will be much attention Paid to things that don't matter There as we watch our world shatter In a world without God And His mention is outlawed Our world will live in tyranny The day of His death in infamy As one by one, we stop and turn In this final lesson to learn What we would not do to cheat Things such as death seems fleet Fleeter than the slow surrender That will bleed our souls to render The juice that overflows at our dying With sacred mothers sighing Out their last breathes as we crumble Falling to our knees as we tumble No longer able to keep the façade Realizing we needed this God And knowing that we have nothing left As we realize our final cleft In a world without God And where the mere mention Is something that is outlawed There will be much attention Paid to things that don't matter There as we watch our world shatter (c) April 23, 2018 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
