Red like blood
My forefathers
Or so they told me

No warrior here
Valhalla decries me
Hiding in shadows
Would you call me Loki?

Too tired for these metaphors
Young man
Little plans of mice and

Worst laid, underpaid survivor
Going in tomorrow
Renewed ansgt amongst the fire
Jonny Angel Jan 2014
Endless droppings,
the bleedings of broken hearts
swirling down
onto parchment
for posterity.

Yet in reading,
we see similar things,
patterns of ansgt,
unwavering,
unchanging,
seemingly
forever.

And constantly
we're told,
"That's the way it is."
And we believe them,
picking up, carrying on,
it's the "Same 'ole, same 'ole."

And we remain,
still alone,
always wondering
why
we never learn,
why we
yearn for something better,
something that
may not ever be.
