POEM: ScTGy

ScTGy
---------------
I want it for me
Oh can't you see that I'm hungry?
Does it matter if we overpopulate the world
Just to get off?
I want it for me
I want it so bad
My bleeding hands have never changed,
The bandage will not listen.

I want it of me
Must this scene be seen from out behind me?
Oh look away, your pleasure is not contingent.
It's my life.
Two steps behind me
The candle ceases glowing
And the innocent hands of ignorance
Become a growing plague.

Is this world not for me?
Imagine flesh and money
Sprawled before me;
Kick it away.
Is this world not?
For me I'd sprawl it out
And kick it all away.

I am not happy
I want your money
I want your soul
You will give it to me with a smile

[S. Earl Martin]

Time

Time is my enemy
But is my only friend
A life long companion
Until the very end
Dragging me in chains
into my next tomorrow
Weather I feel joy
Or I feel sorrow.

The tyranny of time
Time absolves one of all
And time takes all away
Saturn patiently consumes


"It was prophesied that one day Saturn would lose power when one of his children would depose him. To prevent this from happening, each time Ops delivered a child Saturn would immediately devour it. When her sixth child, Jupiter, was born, Ops had him spirited away to the island of Crete. She then wrapped a stone in his swaddling clothes. Her deception was complete when Saturn devoured it, thinking it was the child. When Jupiter was grown, he secured the job of cup-bearer to his father. With the help of Terra, his grandmother, Jupiter fed his father a potion that caused him to vomit up Jupiter's five immortal siblings, Vesta (Hestia), Ceres (Demeter), Juno (Hera), Pluto (Hades), and Neptune (Poseidon), who were still alive in their father's stomach."
