Poems
Feb 2017
Monkey on your back
They showed me
yes I can see
You are entrapped
lost as can be
Old patterns create the habit
the habit becomes the motive
enslaved by masterful mind games
renders you captive
Hidden amongst the living
deep inside this grave
buried between sorrow
and the will to stay alive
The lies for sale are cheap
you buy them by the handful
gorging on self imposed misery
and choking on every mouthful
A life in aggressive disarray
faith quickly fading away
while impulse steals reality
and Jones controls the day
