    The True Raptors (666-I)

    THE TRUE RAPTORS (666-I)

    Eagles... falcons... condors: no -
    the true raptors
    have no feathers.
    The true raptors
    do full justice to the saying
    "Appearances can be deceptive"
    so they look like us BUT
    watch out !
    nothing is further from the truth
    than a true raptor.
    (According to the theory of "natural" selection
    nothing is more "gifted" for evil )

    True ra-p-tors
    have no feathers
    But they do have a huge
    monstrous pair of wings-of-war
    whose shadow
    once open
    covers the entire earth
    with a sheet of blood

    True raptors
    attached to the worst of Earth
    when confronted with the heights of the heart
    are afraid to fly
    (as if they were worth the worry…)
    they are limited to crawling - crawling
    & wallowing in the swamp
    which, thanks to them,
    the world is about to become...

    True raptors do not know how TO BE without having
    as a leech cannot live without blood
    ... watch out!
    Nothing is further from the truth
    than a true raptor...
    He noblest lives and noblest dies
    who makes and keeps his self-made laws

    I would guess 666 would be satan and I ... God maybe?? Or his son Jeos?

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.

    The true raptors

    Hey Bar! Bertoldt Brecht poetry too has a strong flavor of what you call morals.

    Jack & Bar : But here the ideology underlying the poem is more theological-mystical than political . Certain myths about the end of humanity (or the end of humanity in the human species?) and the expression of evil are shared by the major religions of the world, but worded differently according to geographical and cultural context.
    In this case it's about Christian eschatology (I'm not a Christian but I know fairly ancient and modern Christianity, its esotericism etc.) whose content is partially replicated in other religions such as Hinduism-the Kali Yuga, etc..

    Back to morals : in short for me poetry is and will remain a weapon.Among other things of course - perhaps because my martial arts background ?!?!?!
