Pugilist Theory

HomePoetryPugilist Theory
Summary:
I make theories constantly. Think of empires as fighters, World Champions even. A fighter who overstays his welcome because of pride always falls, time makes sure of that. - Damian DeadLove

Slipping on a banana peel total disgrace 

Southbound rocket is drifting out at sea

Tragedy crawling across his wicked face

Cruel intentions for those who disagree

 

Violent whispers in a radioactive breeze 

Digital parasites corrupt a fragile mind

Pigheaded fascist spreading his disease

Day of the dead blind leading the blind

 

Empires fall history has taught us that

Continuous circle repeating the mistake 

Good folks starving while greed gets fat

Murder the dream the system will break

    1. When I saw “pugilist”, I thought of this from*The Boxer*

      In the clearing stands a boxer
      And a fighter by his trade
      And he carries the reminders
      Of every glove that laid him down
      OR cut him ’til he cried out
      In his anger and his shame
      “I am leaving, I am leaving”
      But the fighter still remains

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Patricia. So glad you enjoyed the write my friend. Love that song. Simon & Garfunkel are awesome, Paul Simon is a brilliant lyricist and songwriter. I love ” I Am A Rock.” Appreciate you.
