Literature Text

God spilt his wine in the sky tonight,
The crystal broke off into shards,
liquor streaks the horizon tonight.
And the glass illuminates stars.

A child found daddies pistol tonight,
A trigger pulled back with her thumb,
Cacophony filled the air tonight,
As her blood drained out like rum.

My doctor resides on the streets tonight,
His nose brushed against a line.
Electric punch is his thirst tonight,
For his medication he is enshrined.

The angels are carving notches tonight,
They're changing silk sheets to their cloud.
Temptation will be a threshold tonight.
As lust is a protective shroud.

God spilt his wine in the sky tonight,
The crystal broke off into shards,
liquor streaks the horizon tonight.
And the glass illuminates stars.
something is not quite right...with the world these days.

I enjoy the rhythm this piece has. The repeating of the first verse gives the poem a nice kind of finality and ending. The way religious aspects are woven in along with a kind of every day aspect makes it relatable on a number of levels as well.
