the hermit's son

by omegapaf

by omegapaf and porrohman

god is a.......

plastic fruit
out of the false world we shoot

one move from checkmate
in a terrible financial state

plastic grapes are very bitter
i wish i was younger and fitter

these words attempt to resonate our english ancestors fate
just hope we aren't too late.

" they say the immigrants steal the hubcaps of respected gentlemen.
they say it would be wine and roses if england were for englishmen again " - something about england - the clash.

    thanks bonita.
    i've known porrohman for over 30 years. we don't always agree on music and women, but we agree on most other things. a reflection of 45 years in a country that doesn't know what it is anymore - cat cuddles and kitten grabbing - paul and the early morning opera hound.

Yes I agree with Bonnie, and who can actually challenge that God is NOT whatever we perceive him to be - I was told as I was growing up that God was everywhere and in everything...not bad writing boys - love to know under what influence this was produced..Wink Laughing..Feebs

    it was written under the influence of footie, cricket, cider, lager, music and wine ha ha.
    who says that god is a he? if god was a menopausal woman, then the universe would make a lot more sense than it does now ha ha.

    not really little star. england is a country of immigrants. it's sort of an ironic poem about how a country that started dozens of religious wars, doesn't actually believe in anything anymore, except money...... but i think that was always the case. also how when you get the fruit you have been seeking, it can turn out to be bitter. sortta like adam and eve and the forbiden fruit - paul and clicky claws.

      ok. i get it, now. Thanks!

      So, what did Adam and Eve eat, was is an apple or a grape or fig?
      was it bitter or they enjoyed it to repent later. Does that mean we should not listen to our hearts?

      ha..ha.. just teasing Smile

        you rascally rabbit. you know very well that it was an apple ha ha....it could have been a plastic apple. if it was, the bible would make a lot more sense.

Fantasitic poem, Paul, and Paul, about losses, both a nation, and as an individual. Thanks for sharing.

    it isn't easy being english in the 21st century. but then it never was easy unless you lived in london. i'll pass your compliment on to my writing partner " porrohman ".
    " do not trust to hope. for it has forsaken these lands " - the lord of the rings.

excuse me, is that plastic fruit from eco-friendly plastic? have you had it tested for lead?
ok, what is this poem about Paffy?

    ok. little tigger, i give in.
    it's about how all modern life is false. the things that used to be organic are now all fake and plastic. how the fake fruit looks better than the real thing. err no, the plastic isn't eco friendly either - paffy the navigator and anti gravity hound.

    i always watch out for the plastic fruit gaily. i much prefer the sweet apples - the original sin and the conquest of our souls - paulie and miss snuffles.

G'day Paul and company...
I believe that South African wine can leave you both feeling like you are alone (hermit) I guess an unseen threat is a good way to keep us all in order.
Thanks mate

    south african wine is nearly as dangerous as their cricketer's mate ha ha.
    england has become a place i no longer know. as my friend porrohman said to me " there is nothing out there for people like us ".....but where i live, i don't think there ever was anything out there....a pity. if some people i know had they been givin the opportunity they could have been really great people in the world. it's like if the greatest down hill skier of all time was born in the desert and never saw a hill or ski's - take care mate - paul and the spinning whirling dervish hound.
