We see but we don’t feel
Apathy
We hear but we don’t speak
Injustices
We allow the innocent to be Consumed
While we give praise to the wicked
A blind eye turned
A ravens feast
Laid bare the pickings-
Thus, the glass house shatters from within
Its columns of shame is
All that remains…
…we the people

Tomorrows are for dreamers;
I suspect today I will sleep.
Musings
Odonko-ba Aug 2016
Feverishly
Feeding off cod
Discursively meandering
A letting of blood

The culmination of my own
Psychosis coagulated thought
Strangulated nonsense

Drools
Into a pool of
Spue

Desecrated
With frivolous ideas
Emanating
A stench beyond reason
That only I
Find scintillating

Sort of like
Maggots
Ensconced
In putrid libation
I drown
In spasmodic
Maundering

Fumbling about
In lunacy
Hungering obscurity
Self-debasement
Defile me
My every gratitude

The rope is only the tool

Slithering
In filth
Of my own demise
Bathing in its
Deprivation

Thoughts of the rope
****** sirens
What chance have I
To deny my fate

The rope is only the tool

Reverberates soundly
Surrounding me of my failures

Swept up in a
Deluge of self-hatred

The rope is only the tool

Yes!!! **** You!!!

But I
Prefer the slow
Deprecation
Of the
Blade

death
follows me closely
while life
retreats into shadows
shunning
gnarled fingers
of winters hand

my heart
palpitates a lonesome song
a ponderance of youth
yearning days of old

where children play
in  bright summer fields
and laughter
is caught
in the bubbles they blew
lifted
with the wind
bursting of sunshine giggles
covering the land in smiles
as the scent of moms apple pie
sent children scurrying home...

i feel death's chill
twitting my memories
mockingly reminding...
that my home
is with him now

as my eyes
fell silent
and my heart
cease to beat
into
    the
         shadow
                   i
              descend

beaut lies in the eyes
of the beholder
the evening sun hesitates
beaut: something outstanding of it's kind

another winter
a road well traveled
heaven in her eyes
There's nothing like a life long lived with the one you love
Odonko-ba Aug 2016
No man knows
The time nor the hour  
Yet he fears the space in between - where
Life borders on the fringe of obscurity
The living
Knowing only what the dead interprets
And history changes as seasons

Wars fought hailing religions banner
Countries forged in
Violent manner
Proceeds
Upon vanity fair  

And if heaven is but an illusion
And God the idea insane
Could it possibly turn back camorra's tide?
For peace upon the land to reign

While despotism
A memory best
Forgotten
Festers bane upon the plains

Death grows tired of collecting
Unlike debt  
That knocks unsolicited
The earth will continue to turn blissfully
And life
Continues to flourish

What imprint will posterity find
Of yours and mine left behind?

Will peace reign or
Violence shine?

Or will man himself
Be
Left
In
Decline?
