Pre-Birthday Appeal to the Muses [Today's News Poem, October 22, 2010]

Pre-Birthday Appeal to the Muses [Today's News Poem, October 22, 2010]

Let death be a metaphor, not repercussion:
My oath was too hasty. A future to steal,
Yet still made the offer to cut off my life
In biblical half, as a sixteenth year kid.

Reneging is futile besides, so discussions
To swear—not like Jephthah—a different deal
That's kinder, is fair I think. Also my strife
With self must amuse you. I know you forbid

The breaking of promises, still you acknowledge
I'm faithless for God, but have faith in the Muses,
Ontology, possible worlds and if value
To you is idea then I've certainly served you
And meant what I said when I promised to serve you
And mean it 'till death—whatever you choose is correct.

"For his girlfriend Kate Winslet‘s 35th birthday last month, he paid the Belstaff store in London a visit and came away with the perfect gift—one of their classic leather jackets. "

The Gun is Good! The Penis is Evil! CombatWords for October 22, 2010

"The safety of life is this, to examine everything all through, what it is itself, what is its material, what the formal part; with all thy soul do justice and to say the truth. What remains except to enjoy life by joining one good thing to another so as not to leave even the smallest intervals between."


Your rebuttal Zardoz?
