idealist at heart
clinging to some value
long lost of meaning
left is the new right
our reality shocks me
not one taught in school
now i’m on their side
i rowed to the other shore
to find the same thing
engulfed in a rage
of destructive proportions
can’t find my way back
emotional fool
can’t communicate for shit
saying the wrong thing
misunderstood knave
sits crying in the corner
desolate and [...]
steam train is coming
at full spead, clickity clack
on time to nowhere
steam train before me
can the engineer see me
I wave my arms, stop!
steam train overhead
my screams masked by the rumble
I lie on tracks
steam train on its way
through the dark shadowed valley
running off the tracks
steam train far away
I tried so hard to stop it
But flesh can’t beat [...]
I wrote this back in the Spring of this year. It is an expression of some deeply personal conflicts, and a plea to those prone to rush to judgment.
————————————————————-
When does it all stop -
Embracing this foul hatred -
From so far away?
Arrogance or pride?
What makes it so plain for you -
That which puzzles me?
Would you stone [...]
potential to spare
no catalyst to be found
where am i going
safe on the sidelines
much too afraid to jump in
comfort is a myth
lottery ticket
waiting for the phone to ring
salvation is late
your ride isn’t mine
why do i rent your journey
i’ve one of my own
who the hell are you
that i should try to fit in
true to your standard
I am [...]
When can you say this —
that someone is a true friend?
—a day, or a year?
It doesn’t matter
One day or a whole lifetime
When the vibe is right
I hadn’t seen you -
seemed forever and a day.
Then I heard you were gone.
Just another day
in paradise you told me
A place you could be
Free from the sheriff
And those who might [...]
As in a city,
lost, walking round in circles -
pacing the same streets.
My true place to be
lay on the next block over.
But I never knew.
I chose to wander
too proud to ask directions
most could have given.
Living in the now
is useless, if not mindful
of the guide inside. (who knows when to ask)
In my early years,
my course was never [...]
wisdom’s born of pain
some people find it’s comfort
not the self engaged
a fool will speak out
when no question has been posed
integrity lost
sage, humble and wise
will wait until the last word
perhaps not speaking
Who shall I become?
old dog watching things pass by
knowing more than me.
Tiny bitter pills
Another one to swallow
Another day gone
Mama didnt say
But there are bones in this fish
Chew it carefully
The air is foul here
Yet one must breath to survive
Plug your nose and laugh
Once my wine was pure
Now its filled with sediment
I filter the grit
No more golden haze
My light lacks natural color
Blue skies a memory
And so I move on
I filter, [...]
like a radio
that tunes the strongest station
the loudest one wins
ideas that aren’t your’s
want for a path to follow
too frightened to search
accepting it all
believing without question
never asking why
reject all of it
do not accept what they say
they hide all that’s true
searching for the truth
its not the easiest way
but comfort will come
all is in plain view
one must simply [...]
impervious gown
said the box on the counter
sterile on the shelf
patiently waiting
as good patients always do
where is the doctor?
quite bruised and bloodied
he lay still on the gurney
a sudden ending
life’s not forever
though many pretend it is
death will always come
