Oratorical seizure

by Exostosis   Oct 19, 2011


Obsolescence shadows a dampened vista
A darkled stream of concussions

Cyanide smeared tongues admixing a radical deliverance
Supremacy ravels to reinstall an orderly facade

Collier, granger, grasp a cothurnal pose
Hiricine conscience drips a vatic transformation
of a dagger thrust into exposed innards

Upon platforms, an oratorical session lures the deaf
Each word heaved into a relic scarce

A hydrant column lengthy, narrates the theory of disarmament
But before hands, spiraling strings of buskin commands await

Progressive symptoms indicate an inevitable crusade of weaponry
An oscillating disport of eremite idioms dispersing
A momentary lapse of humanity to facilitate peace
predicts but a deserted vivarium

Our race preaching a schedule of bromidic myths peril
on the trail and towards reminiscent figments of existence

War machines sentinel, bred by authority
Seek and destroy accidental repercussions

Subduing masterdom
A risible thought of rejuvenating empathy
within an hour glass demolishing

Thus, our legacy an epigraph incomplete

    My gosh this piece is stunning. I agree with all that has been said, although I disagree with the above about "Fancy words can be annoying, sometimes.
    Maybe if you include some of them, for the reader not to stumble upon 5 of them in one line :p" because I think the use of vocabulary can make or break a piece. To me this piece would not be the same had you used more ordinary words. Anyway I think this piece is definatley worthy of 5/5 and that you have penned a marvelous piece.

    It's indeed very interesting.
    But I really have one comment that might help you.

    lol, sorry, but it's just my thought.

    Other than that, I really like the atmosphere you have created. So imaginative, fanciful and oh... what is it?
    Flamboyant ;)
