Black Poetry : Land of the Beast-666

Land of the Beast-666​

In town, the sheriff represented the law with a 6 pointed star.
He enforced it with his trusted 6 shooter.
When they bury you, you're buried 6 feet under
and there are 6 pallbearers to carry the casket.
The American flag has 6 white stripes between seven red ones.
There are 6 coins in our money base-penny,nickel, dime,
quarter, half dollar and the dollar.
We speak in 6 tenses-past, present, future, past perfect,
present perfect and future perfect.
There are 6 vowels- a , e, i, o, u and sometimes "y".
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour
and 360 degrees in a circle.
And when you get off work, you go to and buy your 6-pack. You go home and plop down in front of the 6 sided box called a TV. You click the remote so you don't miss the 6 o'clock news. And when the newscaster's words bristle the hairs on the back of your neck, your 6th sense stands on end as you rotate on a planet that races around the Sun at 66,600 miles per hour !
This "is" the Land of the Beast
and you are in his house.
Welcome home !​

Rich - This was penned for the open mind to see that the world we live in is full of signs and symbols. Often, we forget to look. Usually because they appear as everyday things but I hope this serves as a reminder to think on. Thanks Rich. Glad you enjoyed. Namyh

Hello Harry...


This was an interestingly eerie read.
It forces one to step out of ignorance's bliss
and into the reality of things.


As always the read was enjoyed!

Coco – I know! I know! Just when you thought it was safe to march proudly in the steps of ignorance, I had to come along and write this to rain on the parade, inject a dose of reality and stop the bands playing while the floats deflated. Your enjoyment makes it worth it. Namyh
P.S. – I kept the eerie balloons anyway. And yes, there were 6 of them.(LOL)
