The Living Dead...

The Living Dead...

"Can anyone doubt we're the living dead?
We are dying everyday,
Cause the time of life is depleted,
One second...one minute...one day at a time...

From the heaven to the wombs,
As we are born,
That selfsame moment,
The apparel of death is worn...

We dig the earth to plant wheat,
So bread we can eat,
But this timeless action is a timely reminder,
That we will return to dust...

Life trickles swiftly or slowly towards death,
So prepare your life's tale for the heavens,
As we made it to being teens..so take each breath,
And bow and strive in the name of God...."

[Falcon]

Life trickles swiftly or (life trickles) slowLY towards death!!

[letric]

What are you trying to say, the noun and the verb should be in front of each adverb? Surely it is poetic licence

[Falcon]

literary crime.

[letric]

One tries to speak, write grammatical English, however, poetic licence has been in existence for the longest while.

[Falcon]

The errant writer defines poetic licence just as far as it covers his mis-speaking.

[letric]

Poetic licence: A writer's transgression of established rule foreffectnot mis-speaking, in other words it is a deliberate ploy.

PS: Is there such a word as mis-speaking?

[letric]

Poetic licence: A writer's transgression of established rule for effect not mis-speaking, in other words it is a deliberate ploy.

PS: Is there such a word as mis-speaking?

[Falcon]

yes.

Hil(l)ary Clinton claimed she mis-spoke after saying she had come under sniper-fire in Bosnia.

and in reply to

Poetic licence: A writer's transgression of established rule for effect not mis-speaking, in other words it is a deliberate ploy.
I say: The errant writer defines poetic licence just as far as it covers his mis-speaking.

[letric]

Poetic licence allows the writer to use incorrect grammar to convey the desired effect.


Hilary Clinton was proven to have made an incorrect statement, admitting it was 'mis-spoke'.

[Falcon]

so what defines the creation then?
art?

cyberprince said,"Can anyone doubt we're the living dead?
We are dying everyday."

and I said ,why this fuss about Death? Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without Death! . Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.

[letric]

They that are the flesh do mind the things of the
flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of
the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death

Roman ch. 8, v.15

[letric]

Something was dead in each of us,
And what was dead was Hope.

Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn from no other.

[letric]

Since it is a joy to have the benefit of what is good, it is a greater one to experience what is better, and in art the best is good enough.

Italienische Reise (1816-17) 3 march 1787.

[letric]

Living is consciousness, death is to be unconscious.

[letric]

Man is but earth; 'Tis true; but earth is the
centre. That man who dwells upon himself, who
is always conversant in himself, rests in his true
centre.

LXXX [/i]Sermons[i] (1640)

[letric]

A thousand probabilities do not make one truth.

[letric]

Some people believe that we each have a number of spiritual guides - angelic beings from the spiritual realm - to whom we can turn for guidance. To contact your spiritual guides, address them directly, asking your question aloud, in your head, or in writing - whichever feels most natural. Remain open to an answer - it may come at any time, whether spontaneously, or out of a chance conversation, or perhaps revealing itself in a book you may happen to pick up.

[letric]

...One murder made a villain,
Millions a hero.

Death(1759) l. 154; see Rostand 670.7. Young 876:4

[letric]

Let them be wiped out of the book of the
living; and not written among the righteous.

Psalm 69. v.29

[letric]

O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me
from the body of this death?

Roman ch 7:. v.24
