yikes venezuela
double yikes for red china
lost their human's rights

corrupt governments
pillaging their own people
with just signs to fight

they let it happen
trusting in greedy humans
no one else to blame

lessons never learned
our founding fathers teachings
history repeats

cloudy head morning
ethanol fueled brain banging
to much tequila

peaking in wonder
your silk slip falls to the floor
as loves waiting ends

tumbleweeds tumble
down abandoned city streets
dust their companion

red and yellow stains
dribbled down my button down
lunchtime casualty

calm waters
quietly whispered
dreadful silence

midnight sun arrives
slowly lunar smiles recede
starry nights retire

from my lips your name
final gasp of air for you
with you my last wish

falling rain again
puddles collecting curbside
hopscotching around

race to end
not needing to run
lifes' that way

suicide spawn
spirits pass on ancient beds
brown bears feast

standing in today
pointing to tomorrow
never looking back
some finding this the answer
others could use reminding
