Happy New Year ( J D Smith - IP Challenge # 10)

Rate: 27 Flag
 

Statue of Liberty
 

The stockings are hung
 
with not too much care
 
while still we celebrate
 
the birth of Christ
 
my beloved children
 
shall have an early Christmas
 
not many presents and no tree 
 
but as it has been written
 
it is the thought that counts

but that is not really true is it
 
I loved lots of presents
 
when I was a child growing up
 
so now the world is finally equal
 
the rich cannot buy salvation 
 
the poor now have equality when
 
there is no one left to inherit a world 
 
that is not worth a dollar or a dime
 
Death is coming for us all
 
I get the chills Just Thinking..
 
of killing my own children
 
for I would never let them suffer
 
I could not live a moment longer 
 
with the agony, the dispair 
 
of what I had done to my babies 

no Times Square Ball falling
 
no Dick Clark to wish everyone 
 
a Happy New Year
 
but at least we are saved 
 
from the sight and sound
 
of Ryan Seacrest
 
we should all thank our God
 
for the smallest of favors

Smiles and sadness all in the same piece???
Brilliant!
Oh, Scanner, you rocked me there at the end!! NICE.
Jeanette, thank you.
JD, you poem made mine look like a two-year kid on crack. Thanks~
Firechick, I figured, who likes Ryan Seacrest, and I couldn't think of anyone, hah~
damn , fellow!

shoulda worn a sheath. shit.

.............

the world will continue along its preordained chaotic clueless
unfathomable way, even if great poets
like u come around and scream
prophetic irony in our ears
cuz

ryan seacreast? he is hot.

in certain quarters we would never knock for admittance
at. also there is the terrible story of this bieber, this
justin, this young man.

i dunno what to make of it, or him, or anything.

thank goodness for prophets like u i can listen to
before the BLACK DOG comes and eats me.

the weather channel is nice. there was this slinky gal in
a much too short skirt talkin tornados & humidity.
that is enough, for now.
Scanner, your poem haunted me and it made me laugh. Laughter and tears always touch me. Such a good poem!
Global annihilation is a great equalizer alright! This one's a good one, sir. Much appreciated by this newbie. /R
Rated as a poem.
Why is everyone writing about the end?
R♥
Jim, I got BeiberFever bad. I said Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, he said I got a bad case of them ole'OS Blues~
Joanne, I'm glad I can bring some emotion, I think poetry should make you glad or sad or horny!:-)
nilesite, thank you and welcome to my house. Put your feet up~
Fusun, you got me. I'm just following JD.
"I get the chills Just Thinking..

You sir are a very twisted man... don't know why but I like that.
Oh Boy. "the rich cannot buy salvation " that's for sure.
Love the Ryan Seacrest part.
Ryan Seacreast as our savior. Erch.
Cynical. Good, but cynical.
Killing kids so they don't have to see Ryan Seacrest is a little over the top. Now, if you'd said Simon Cowell....
Mac, if the end is near, my children would never see it. I couldn't bear to see them hurt. I would rather burn in Hell if there is one.
Thanks T. I fail to see what anyone sees in him. But, if everyone dislikes him, why is he rich and famous. Like Snookie I guess.
phyllis, no, only the last person I would want to see before I die~
V, I think sometimes I am writing more cynical things lately. I know not why~
Kosher, I flipped a coin~
Un-sanity rules!

Where are your gods now?!
.
Sure got the drift.
Now to look up Ryan Seacrest :-)
Love that ending. The rest of your poem, with its illustration, is chilling.
At least yours made me smile at the end...
Or the Kardasians, but I like that the rich finally have something they can't buy!
Christmas story with a wicked twisted night terror turned inside out.

..."for the smallest favors...(says it all).
that is a great picture, and the poem fits perfectly
Well written, ScanMan; well done. R
Scanner,what a feeling "Death is coming for us all
I get the chills Just Thinking..of killing my own children for I would never let them suffer I could not live a moment longer with the agony, the dispair of what I had done to my babies .."..I can understand this and it brings an ancient greek tragedy inside...and much love...Rated..
Hey scanner, I can't tell you how thrilled that I am to see you joined in on this challenge! And what a mix you brought to the table ... but, hey, it's so you ... a heady mix of the downright serious and the supremely funny.

Thank you, scanner. Well done.
Brilliant, especially no more Ryan Seacrest.
rated with love
Brilliant ScanMan.
I didn't know about your book either, until Linda.S. mentioned in her own recently. I will be orf now to Amazon.co.uk (not that American version - nope) and order it.
Oh yes and Tinks too.........

"Press the R button and the post button please FRed(tm) , if it's not too much 'effort' Boy."
Thanks Creek old man, you're a scholar and a gentleman! (sic)
During the French Revolutions Women would jump into the rivers and drowned themselves and their children if they knew they were going to starve to death. And anyone who doubts how hard starving to death is than check out Bobby Sands story from the prison in Ireland. I am pretty sure you can just google Bobby Sands. I think it was the first starvation that was documented day by day.
