Idols Poem by allan macli borges

Idols

Rating: 4.5


The day has come to his rising
Echoes of the hammer recovering
Ripping the all ages icons up
No chance for them getting over
Old men talking slowly
Heads down, quills on their hands
She said they are crazies
Just kids fighting for a bit of candy
What means their words about us all?
Why have we lost our oldest friends?
But the hammer is getting high and higher

I liked it, just seems like yo second guess yourself a little and shorten it up. It was good though.

Well, I read this three times. After three readings, I still couldn't figure out what any part of it meant. This may be the most obscure piece that I have read on Poemhunter. Therefore, I have no comment. GW62

Title of the poem is clear but the contents are very symbolic, meaningful though. The time has come for old idols and thoughts to be hammered and broken. A short and good poem, Allan.
