The poem by yers truly:

PLEASE, NOT AT THE STAKE

Its all fun and games until
someone loses an eye for an eye
or causes genocide.

So if the voice in your head
commands you to commit words to paper
--have a little mercy on us heathens
and put in parentheses,

(Burn after reading).

[DavidRandallCurtis]

mouthofknives: if it says "by David Randall Curtis" on top of the video or below the words on the sidebar--I wrote it. Probably about 75% of my videos are poems I've written. The rest are covers, collabs and tags. Peace.

[AuroraKismet]

The voice in my head tells me you need to be soundly spanked(hide your eyes Mone) for not sending this to my box!

[dashpoet]

Memorably put, blunt and to the point as it were.

[leftysergeant]

A point well made with great ecconomy of words. As great as God may be, some of His fan clubs really suck.

[Elaina43]

Nice one!!!!
