Downtown on Mainstreet, a sarcinarious empty feel, Mr. Jones, so cold, alone, once Hadst a home, sold his Life for a bottle, clear Liquid his daily meal. Nothing in his touch but biker Bars, where women art strung On pills, men nightly jailed, Life plans for prison bars, Knives for cuts, and dope For cars; This side of the Street was where the Dealers art star's. Mr jones once a high-degreed College lad, moved out of his Home, he became the unknown, Dropped out of public vision, Traded knowledge for rich Men's wishes, worked in High elite positions, a man Of superstitions, once a time His pockets rolled with Hundreds and fifties, Now his clothes smell Of cheap wine, as his eyne taste Of death; now a holes in- Side of his chest. Dreaming one day, on the side Of the cement, a being of grace, Not of human race; an angel of God to Mr.Jones was sent. "Mr. Jones", the Angel didst whisper, I came to let thee knowest, im thy guardian Mr; for God almighty hast sent me to thee, to show thee second chances do exist, and sir im not make believe, mine light is God's kiss. ©Brandon nagley ©lonesome poets poetry

Mr jones, the second chance
Downtown on Mainstreet, a sarcinarious empty feel, Mr. Jones, so cold, alone, once Hadst a home, sold his Life for a bottle, clear Liquid his daily meal. Nothing in his touch but biker Bars, where women art strung On pills, men nightly jailed, Life plans for prison bars, Knives for cuts, and dope For cars; This side of the Street was where the Dealers art star's. Mr jones once a high-degreed College lad, moved out of his Home, he became the unknown, Dropped out of public vision, Traded knowledge for rich Men's wishes, worked in High elite positions, a man Of superstitions, once a time His pockets rolled with Hundreds and fifties, Now his clothes smell Of cheap wine, as his eyne taste Of death; now a holes in- Side of his chest. Dreaming one day, on the side Of the cement, a being of grace, Not of human race; an angel of God to Mr.Jones was sent. "Mr. Jones", the Angel didst whisper, I came to let thee knowest, im thy guardian Mr; for God almighty hast sent me to thee, to show thee second chances do exist, and sir im not make believe, mine light is God's kiss. ©Brandon nagley ©lonesome poets poetry
