Poetic Purple Rain

Just like Cuneiform...
Just like the SUN
Here we all are... each and everyone.
Purple Rain of Consciousness,
Standing Laughing There...
Annunaki 7 move and love with care..
Consciousness of Jehovah...
Lit with love and right...
I will see you Brother...
and we will both take flight!

OK, I'm going to take a stab at this one and try to figure out what exactly
you're trying to say. I've learned from years of experience that when asking
you a question, you'll answer with a riddle of some sort..and uninteresting
riddle, but a riddle none-the-less.

So here goes....

Just like Cuneiform...
Just like the SUN
Here we all are... each and everyone.
lol First gut reaction is, "what does this even mean?"
But from what I'm able to ascertain, the first line is meant to make you sound more mysterious. The second is a tie-in to the Rainbow Children album.

Purple Rain of Consciousness,
A tie-in to Prince. The entire line doesn't really work though, does it? Because Purple Rain doesn't mean anything. Prince tried to assign meaning to it in his song by considering it some sort of spiritual sublimation.
But he does this affectively (though still in a silly manner) by spelling out a story in his song about what Purple Rain actually is...he speaks of bathing in the purple rain, then he speaks of guiding someone to God...so in essence he explains what Purple Rain is in his song.
You on the other hand, don't have that luxury in your poem. It gets reduced to a derivative statment reliant on context and meaning from someone else's art. It's not exactly steeling for sure, but it does slightly plagiarize.

Standing Laughing There...
Annunaki 7 move and love with care..
This is sort of a Xanadu/Kubla Khan/Emperor of Ice Cream statement. Had the entire poem travelled down this path it could have been quite effective at least at immitation. I don't think this was the intent of the lines above though. I think you're just trying to sound mysterious here. They're my two favorite lines in the poem though, despite.
Consciousness of Jehovah...
Lit with love and right...
This seems like a double-meaning at first blush, but I don't think this was your intent either. "Consciousness of Jehova" doesn't exactly mean anything at first. Does this mean "The wisdom of God"? Or "God-conciousness" or "Being aware of God".. it could mean any 3, and second line "lit with love and right..." seems to imply it means "the wisdom of God".
I will see you Brother...
and we will both take flight!
There is no other way to interpret this other than you and the 'other' person--your 'brother' (I have a very sad, sinking feeling you're referring to Prince who doesn't know you're alive actually)--are about to smoke a big, fat blunt."

Thanks for breaking it down.

At first, I thought it was steaming pile of pretentious shite, but now I see there's less to it than that.

oh, just like cuneiform. I see.

That may be what you're poem meant, but it's not
exactly what your poem said .

I was inspecting the later.
The audience is under no obligation to be
clairvoyant or omnipotent. Ergo,
you'll get what you believe are misinterpretations,
especially when you attempt to look or sound
mysterious. No biggie. Maybe you'll do better
next time? Keep fighting the good fight. lol

Is that the god love or consciousness speaking there? confuse

Just trying to figure out how sincere the poem is. Your anger is quite sincere though. Probably would make a great poem if channeled correctly and the 'mysterious' vibe nonsense were left out.

You know, I had to read this again just to make sure it was at the calibur I remembered it previously.

I have to say the 'consciousness of jehova' line actually works as satire or self-deprecating humor, if the punchline were one's own penchant towards mysterious drivel. It's actually quite funny.
