Poem: 'Poseidon' by Tanner Reiss

Poseidon
by Tanner Reiss

Hold me down
Make me drown
Out at sea
Don't you see
I am Poseidon!

Positioned beside
Where your hate
Resides in.
Crawling inside
Your jaded mind
To blind your eyes
Until you realize
Stormy skies
Are not a disguise.

Hold me down
Make me drown
Out at sea
Don't you see
I am Poseidon!

Refuse to be captured
For whom I admire
Desire enraptured
Fire unmeasured
I will not crack in
The grips of Kraken
Look in my eyes
And see tides rise
Realize you cannot

Hold me down
Make me drown
Out at sea
Don't you see
I am Poseidon!?

God, Judge, Jury
With unmatched fury
Inarguable history
A lifetime of evidence
To prove your silence
Leads to others violence

Every committed murder
Each pulled trigger
A bolt of lightning
A round of thunder.

Hold me down
Make me drown
Out at sea
Don't you see
I am Poseidon!

Positioned beside
Where your hate
Resides in.
Crawling inside
Your jaded mind
To blind your eyes
Until you realize
Stormy skies
Are YOUR disguise.

Hold US down
Make US drown
Out at sea
Can't you see
WE are Poseidon!
