It's true that it was I who
jostled the heaven-bells a smidge—
they belched an infernal clang.
jangled the fears and joys of men,
barged upon where they spoke and sang.
jiggled the wires and tweaked the board,
which guffawed sparks and fire.
fizzled the flame and wriggling babe,
shoved the newborn into mire.
centered the script, deleted the space,
resulting in pagefuls of blood.
splintered the psalm, berated the zealot,
in scathing thought-bubbles of mud.
raged on the weak, uplifted the poor,
rectified frenzy with calm.
slaved for the sheep, protected the lion,
a noxious elixir and balm.
the accusations, appraisals, opinions
about me, the stories and rumors are true:
I answer them all with a thumb and a nod,
"Why yes, it was I who."

So many transcendent pumpkins here it gave me visions! So now I will be selling my elephants and moustache collection to get a third class ticket to Rashnapur. There I shall erect a 30 foot statue of your likeness made from Oreo boxes and the hair of 500 virgins ...

I AM WHO I AM. There was once a great storm. Those in the boat were in a frenzy. Then out on the water came a friend. They thought he was a ghost. But he answered, "It is I."I'm sorry. Several times I say "this is great" @d-pend... but this time I will say this is great to
A wickedly dark piece of characterization that spills into the esoteric and existential. Fantastic penning. The word choice and phrasing is superb:)

The sincerity of your words makes me want to engage in entomophagy as daily ritual, alas my Walrus would be offended so this comment will have to do.

@mineopoly your handiwork has been plagiarized and re-phrased 😂😂😂
Cool. You just run the first good comment through a computer translator into your own language and then translate it back to English. Some how I do not look forward to the day AI takes over all our jobs. I know they will try to replace me as an English teacher.
@selina2 feel free to write in your native language your response. As long as it is original it is OK with me. If I were you I would edit your comment.

Your mother is disappointed as you obviously have forgotten your manners they are as dead as the shoe you re peddling here! In what universe do you think it to be good form to not even give a morsel of consideration to the author of this post but to plaster your advertising over the page! Please bring your shoe to goodwill or the dumpster littering is not appreciated here on Steemit!
My mother, bless her soul, has passed on. So thank you for helping me remember that.
Sorry I'm new to Steemit and still learning.
Did you read my poem/story?
I am sorry about your mother. that being said it is really considered rude to post your content on someone else's post it is disrespectful. So no I did not read your story because you disrespected the author of this post. If you want to get people to read your stuff take the time to actually read their's and be interested in their work. leave meaningful comments about their work not yours ! Do that and people will want to come to your blog to see who it is that is giving real and valuable comments. NEVER post your links unless you are asked to !
