Bombastic given
bombardment by the grace of God
relent, rely, realize
the fire’s breeding spaces
but only by a history of shrieking faces.
Somewhere, waiting, with Names on a list
He’s waiting
for a soul or indifferent ravens
ours is but to do or die
barbaric bearing on the graceless lover–
just a click and all will sever.
The Waking Den 
whew….really nice intensity chris…particularly that opening stanza…
to do or die… it’s tough how the destiny over hundreds of people can be just a click on a button away..
Love it.. the alliterations make it work so well … and those indifferent ravens … almost like a juxtaposition..
Glad they struck a chord! Alliteration can make or break a poem, after all–but those ravens needed to have their flight, and it was but a matter of how to set them free.
Wowsa! I like the intensity of the poem. Makes me think of good vs evil and how we make choices daily: do or die~love this!
Sometimes the only separation between the two–good and evil–IS a click. A single decision. Who knows how many forks in the road we face just on a daily basis…
Powerful and intense, loved it especially “He’s waiting for a soul or indifferent ravens”.
Much like Bjorn, I loved the indifferent ravens (a wonderfully apt description) and the lliteration. Intensity itself.
Nice! Loved the intensity in such a short poem.
Yes! Excellent work done.. Cool flow.
Very well done, nicely crafted.
