the day bends

::

Hey look !

The SOLDIER BOYS !

)(

Our foolish HEROES !

destroying themselves

To feed the rich man's greed

••

••

••

soon

So very soon

The wars shall begin

••
••

Out along the country road

Who goes there ?

does he have the Proper Papers ?

will he be shot down ?

::::

Behind the bar

Another ****

)(

another poem shall be written

||

She was quite a lover too !

•

( she said )

)(

( she was so SINCERE ! )

::

Another lost story

---

The real has been replaced by our

Sociopathic worship of our own weaknesses

as we try to numb ourselves and

Still survive

•

There is so little of us

We are hardly known at all

)(

even though she has been ***** and killed

Her ghost still roams the alleyways

Telling the children

PAIN IS GOOD !

)(

She shall become a goddess and

Attain

IMMORTALITY

::

She will write poems about it

Which will be emulated

In

True

COOKIE CUTTER

style

By all the boys and girls

Of hello poetry

Who  , too

Are lost and afraid

IT WILL BE UGLY

::;

thoughts of reality

Float around

But nary a living person

To be found



.

I fell in it
A handful of times
Those burning embers
Of love and trust
The consuming flames
Of the pleasures of lust
The perpetual game
Of push and shove

I get tired
And burned out
Running from all
Life's broken rules
And after all
I don't care to revisit
Those old blues
But don't get me wrong
I'm still your one
And only fool

Because you know
Once or twice
In the darkest
Part of life
I was so blessed
To have your light!

I am in love with you
I hope you don't mind..

but only you okay?
just you

because
I don't want to love anyone else
not like I love you

I mean..
like everyone else

But I only want to be in love
with you.
