Poems
Nov 2019
Push
Babylons eroded
Mesopotamia flooded.
Egypt dried
And America polluted.
Murderers and heroes.
Gods are liars
Man tell the best stories
Women dream reality
UFOs are from Earth
Life is Hell.
You are becoming the last person alive to have a pulse and not a cellphone charger.
You are the last voice I heard ever and the one I only needed.
Time are pieces of papers before fire.
And I use matches to unlock doors and free myself of guilt.
I cannot control floods or the turning of the earth.
I can only speak for fires sake.
I can only speak for tomorrow, if I gain a spark for today.
We can burn it all down
And kick the sand in the deserts around the Nile.
Or banish Gods
And scorn men.
And let women dream.
You can live in Babylon or live back between the Tigris and Euphrates.
Or drink from America's murk.
But we are looking at these keys blazing.
And never looking back, dropping them in doorways.
To ash our cigarettes in the rubble of yesterdays pain.
Together.
