Dancing deities

My last poem on this topic.

 
Place your hands over your precious apathy
my brand of comedy is ever its enemy.
A few misplaced words ruin men and mice
when a whores language can fools and kings entice.
Fuck the judgement of the righteous!
Your drop out mind’s your moral compass.
The roll of aeons and dead beat lives.
A world beyond the coffee cup should not surprise,
for though I’ve learnt gods eternal mind
the fresher’s formula remains undefined.
Why others transcend to dancing deity
Is it that I sit here writing poetry?
I’ll search between the lines, you search between her legs.
See who finds the answer first, who winds up sucking kegs.
They see hope at the bottom of a whiskey glass
I see none, just concentrate on trying to pass.

    Dude....one thing I hope you will find is that I;ll always be honest about your work...at the end of the day 'Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one' ...but the key is that you take critisism in your stride....at the end of the day if you are happy with what you wrote, then that is all that matters....your writing is very good...I just feel that with a little honest critique, we all can become better writers....this for me is what papertank is all about....

    That line didn't make sense to me. Seems like it's missing a simple word or the wrong form of you.
    Glad this is your last poem on this topic, it's getting a little hard to discern between all of them :(

That love conquers all, and is all the people of this world and the next need in order to live a long, fulfilling life. Whoever said that either is too ignorant to remember this story or was simply deprived of hearing it spoke in the low, husky voice of an elderly man beneath a lazy moon on a cold winter’s night.
