.:: o -- another day

.

 

 

 

Reading the poetry of the dumb *****

 

Trying to cram a boy

 

Into the steel trap vacancy

 

Of their meaningless lives

 

While I probe into the lines

 

Hoping to find a remnant

 

Of something human

 

 

 

/////

// //

 

||

 

the gentle power

 

( creation )

 

The saint in celestial wisdom

 

Gazes into the pulsations of grace and humility

 

That linger amid

 

The countless assassinations

 

That are the mark of the world's depravity

 

•

 

 

dumb **** life !

 

The loveless pretensions !

 

( no one is really here at all )

 

)(

 

Just a bunch of kids

 

Getting ready to be *****

 

//

 

By others

 

And by themselves !

 

//

 

The stream that flows by the cabin door

 

)(

 

The pure maiden !

 

 

//

 

Alive in the healing magic of her art !

 

)(

 

The tenderest memories !

 

)(

 

And we ALL are there

 

::

 

The young boys and girls !

 

The sacred words !

 

The wealth amid the poverty

 

)(

 

We DO understand !

 

 

////

 

Along the broken dream streets

 

We stumble

 

Some

 

Trying to escape madness into the

 

Hearts of each other

 

 

Most trying to find solace

 

In the exicitment of pain

 

And the herd mentality

 

Of terminal indifference

 

•••

 

 

Child !

 

Be ready to choose

 

 

Even l am mortal

 

And will be here for only a little while more !

 

|||

 

So

 

Don't get slimed by a dumb ****

 

And their promises of numbness

 

As a form of peace !

 

We are the warriors

 

;;

 

The stream flows by the cabin door

 

 

See the pure maiden !

 

Find the love that is true

 

 

You are ALWAYS welcome there
