"Bled So" dots

-------------------------------------------

Hearts bled so within city walls
In flames of hell from where they stood so tall
To flow in streams from southbound streets
Ugly, real and mean, the cut is clean
Broken bones burst forth from the skin
The pain bites again and again
Wounds take the life of modern man
His heart, his mind, his plan
The heart is a dwelling place, an open invitation
It leads to the mind, and evil contemplation
Fallen angels, forgotten strangers rule the will
They rape and destroy the land we till
It’s hard to distinguish what is real
A solar eclipse to blot out the sun
Is this the end, or are we far from done?
The tides rise and wash away the innocent
Swept away but the spirit remains
Untied and free beyond this disease
Calling out from the ground below our feet

  It's been a while since I've read anything of yours, so I was very pleased to see one I hadn't read yet. I must say I wasn't disappointed. This is a georgeous combination of powerful words and inescapable rythm. Please don't stop here.

  This poem reminds me of war on a bloody battlefield. Comrades are being destroyed on every side. One is torn from the bullet wound, but knows in order to survive he must press on. Finding fellow wounded soldiers they perform a chain of strength and with determination make it safety to their destination.
I'm probably way off base here, but this is where my mind wondered while reading this.
A very good write indeed!!

  I loved this! It had awesome imagery throughout the poem. All of ur lines had such depth; I had to think a while :P This line kind of confused me though: They rape and destroy the land we till
what confused me waqs the "we till" part.
I thought it had good rythm. I thought all the comas added to the poem because they made you stop and that aded to the poem. Great job!

  Bravo S. Martin S. Allen !

This to me was very intricate with meaning and symbolism and I actually found a few ways that I liked to interpret "IT" - the title, Bled So - could be a reference to Christ but to me more so - the symbol of the lifeblood of existence in the mundane & what we are really here for - the social, government and religious injustice and the tendency to blame it on God and the devil - but what is real & divine is what spirits us truly.
I really enjoyed this piece from you & am glad to see you posting
love,peace,joy&smilez 2 share

  i liked it..the flow could use just a bit of work, you should just a bit of commas in the beginning to make the flow better..but besides that the peom was flawless, i love your wording!..keep up the great work!
