Icarus, fly not so close to the sun.
Seek out the high that you can sustain.
Reznor found "happiness in slavery" and Manson, in an absinthe craze, loves to command his minions from the border of hell and earth;
But you, Icarus, are something more sensitive.
Pack a bowl and crack a Corona but leave the wine and the opium alone.
Leave the diamond decked Hova to reign over his murder capital.
Maybe he'll commision a poem someday.
Do not believe that the future or the past is now;
you can't even hide in Mexico anymore.
Icarus, fly not too close to the sun but seek out the height you can sustain.

Anonymousabout 19 years agoThis work caught my attention because I love the mythical references. It made me go and research.. which is a sign for me of a good poem! I do not like the format of the work, it needs to be tightened up but the message is strong and leaves me wondering .... needing to know more..and undertanding all at once~
thank you for the labyrinth of words....
Du~
PS mentioned in the Sunday reviews
twelveooneabout 19 years agoNeeds a little cleaning up, i.e. some better line breaks.
Only thing I object to is Reznor reference may need a little more fattening (NIN?)
"Seek out the high that you can sustain." is a killer line, I would use it also, as is, as the end line.
I like this dual use of high running through this.
Good work
A little more work this becomes beyond good.
doormouseabout 19 years ago...read your stuff before...
Very good. I loved the repetition at the beginning and end. I had to read it twice, but you certainly got the message across.
