God's Play

Jeremiah Walton Jeremiah Walton Jazzy Zajac

A harangue, illustrated by my vocals

Flails to dirt caked ears from the podium
And the hardbringers had brought
warning of my speech

Say I am testifying as a God of men
Marked reprehensible, a verbal leper
Instead of flesh, my mind is bricked
According to the whispers at least
Caught in the hail of abtruse ideas
The onlookers swarm with hoarse-
"Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!"'s
Instruments of flowery words
Tuned to abrogate mine
They are all swayed by the last person
Standing where my sandals bake
Knowing the next will call mine blasphemy
And pluck the crowd's chords
Each note resonating the speakers tenous ideas
Gazing on the infected crowd, a cluster of discredible material
Oozing out of slack jaws
I imagine them all the equivelent of cow flesh hooked
I step to the side, my shadow and I done
Throat dry, looking to the podium above my own
"Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!"

Jeremiah Walton

I am Jeremiah Walton.  I am 16 years old and live in New England where I have always resided.  I am currently attending high school and will be graduating next year.  I have been writing for as long as I can remember, but only began writing poetry 2 years ago.  Short stories were my main form of writing before poetry.  Kurt Vonnegut is an author I look to for  inspiration.  His writing is driven, thought out, and I respect him.  I also manage a website, Nostrovia! Poetry, a community for poets and writers to evolve.  On a side note, I also skateboard (Baker and Enjoi decks are my preference) and have been for 4 years.  

I am author of the short poetry collection free ebook "To Your Health: Humanities Diagnosis" (link to download).  It is a collection that discusses the follys of man and his attempts to attain "purity" and perfection.  It is my first published collection and is self published. It is only available as an ebook through my website, Nostrovia! Poetry.   My new upcoming poetry collection "Nostrovia!" that can be previewed at my website.  It is not published yet and is still in the process of being put together.  It contains my poetry, prose, and art.  It will be available soon within the next couple months.  It is divided into 6 chapters and covers a broad span of topics.
