Poem: The Famine
by Kris Nadarajah
Staff Writer (Illinois, USA)The Famine
I see angels all around me…
Did you think I’d give it up?
Are you crazy??
Lose what I’ve become.
You don’t know me.
You don’t own my soul.
Black and white,
Are all I see,
In my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
Reaching out to me.
Let me see…
Unbolt my eyes,
Ahhh, it burns.
…Blinded by the beams.
Difficult to see you in this light…
Daylight dims, leaving a cold fluorescence.
Time to sleep.
These nights are getting longer.
Seems like I’ve always been awake.
The shadows slither up and shake my hand.
Envelopes me safely away from those cursed beams.
Allows me to imagine, to dream.
Yes, it holds uncertainly, but endless possibility.
The black void takes me in gently.
I am free.
I see everything clearly now.
Do they pray for holiness or just prey on my willingness
To starve, beg, consume for something they can’t prove?
They are coming.
Hide myself from it all while every fear is
Screaming night into dawn until I realize
I have to believe the lies.
All my inner fears that tear at me,
I will never believe them.
But yet they find me…
They split me open at the seams.
And rip out everything inside.
Then they make room for all these new machines.
Sew me up, and pray that I survive.
Anticipating all the cost I feel.
The weight of all I’ve lost.
Then you place me under oath
And take your shots after it’s all been done.
You’re so crazy!
Sitting on your throne…
Check my tone, you’ve pissed me off.
I don’t know you.
You sure as hell don’t know me.
And I’ll set this place on fire.
Just break and burn down everything.
I’m made of metallic parts and wires now.
I won’t feel a thing.
You say you fear me…
Why do you lie?
From the shadows,
I weave the truth by untangling the spool of lies,
Stitching together a transparent life with threads of doubt.
Hold on to the mendacities of which I’ve lived in full.
Don’t worry, the pendulum will still swing for you,
It’s a little too late for me.
I see angels all around me…
I see angels…you can’t touch me…
Little angels, go away.
Come again some other day.
The devil has my ear today.
I’ll never hear a word you say.
He promised I would find a little comfort
And some peace of mind.
Whatever just as long as I don’t feel so…
…Desperate and Ravenous

Hello, my group is just establishing our first website, searching and working out what is needed. This blog stuck out right away. I’m fired up about this, and adore the design of your site. Are you able to let me know what “theme” it is?
May 21st, 2010 at 9:06 pm

What I dont understand is how youre not even more popular than you are now. Youre just so intelligent. You know so much about this subject, made me think about it from so many different angles. Its like people arent interested unless it has something to do with Lady Gaga! Your stuffs great. Keep it up!
May 26th, 2010 at 11:09 am

May 26th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Recently, I did not give whole lot thought to commenting on weblog articles and have left feedback even less. Viewing your useful piece of writing, might inspire me to do this again.
May 27th, 2010 at 12:06 am
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
May 27th, 2010 at 12:17 am
Recently, I didn’t give so much thought to writing comments on blog entries and have left comments even less. Checking out your insightful page, will probably encourage me to do so more regularly.
May 27th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
May 28th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
The blog was absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need!

May 30th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
May 30th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Only want to say your article is as tonishing. The clearness in your post is simply spectacular and i can take for granted you are an expert on this field.

If you don’t mind me asking I just wanted to get the scoop on what is the difference between blogenenigne and wordpress blogs? Is it easier to use or more efficient? I amseeing a lot of blogs powered by this software popping up lately and wondering if it is better or not? Thanks…
May 31st, 2010 at 2:14 am

June 2nd, 2010 at 7:57 am
Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.
June 2nd, 2010 at 2:03 pm
awesome post. I have discovered for myself just how flexible WP is, as a hosting platform for your website. you literally have everything you need to publish a website at your fingertips, through WordPress. thanks.

I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job

To be a upright human being is to have a make of openness to the far-out, an gift to group undeterminable things beyond your own restrain, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly impressive with the prerequisite of the principled compulsion: that it is based on a corporation in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it’s based on being more like a spy than like a jewel, something rather feeble, but whose extremely precise beauty is inseparable from that fragility.
