Goodbye Jesus

A Quick Poem I Wrote

One and a half billion

Worthless platitudes.

They flap and flail in the cool breeze,

Nailed to a tree,

Stained by the rain,

Torn by the wind,

Yellowed by the sun.

Risible in their failed nobility.

Tepid waves of electrical impulses that somehow

Were of value once

I'll try and interpret it better when I have time.

It makes me think of Hindu Prayer Flags... and of all the prayers and praises I offered up that went unnoticed.

Compelling.  I'll have to think about it for a while.

I've thought up my own interpretation of this. Good stuff Owen.

most poetry I write I can't even interpret myself, but this one is pretty simple actually - internet memes and the way people use them to mask their reality

reminded me of an image I saw recently of a very delapidated Pontiac Silverdome for some reason,,,flailing rags maybe. Good poem.
