La Petite Mort
Odd thing
Suicide bombers
Will go to their death
On the promise of
This state of being
Believing it will
Hold them fast
In its grip
Through eternity
Such are the dubious
Interpretations
Of scriptures
They are fed
Until so very
Full
La Petite Mort
Lovers
And others
Will simply
Savour the moment
Devour the moment
Live the moment
For what it is
Nothing more

I don’t think I’ve heard it referred to as that since Masters & Johnson – but perhaps I’ve led a sheltered life
Crikey – had to look that up! This short piece I wrote after reading an article about how ‘certain’ suicide bombers are seduced into thinking that by carrying out their deed they will live in a state of orgasm thereafter for eternity. Struck me as an odd that such stupidity is for real – maybe should have written this as a satire yet it would have been difficult to keep it within the bounds of the acceptable – which I guess makes me the cowardly satirist!
I’d sure like to visit a little death upon all of them before they come to their depraved deeds
Agree – 100%
Wow….
True words…very nice!
Cheers – all down to the thing I read recently saying that most suicide bombers think they are going to a heaven where they will be in a state of orgasmic bliss forever more! Weird stuff religion!
Yeah, I’d say orgasmis bliss starts getting boring fairly quickly:S
Very nice. Excellent in fact.
Cheers.
