Take a walk with me and talk with me
About the world that we live in today
Cuz when we reach the shores of the river stix
We're each gonna have to pay
...
Damn technology!
Damn it all to hell!
We eat, sleep, and breath technology.
I just lost a poem to that evil vermin!
...
Restrictions and medications
Prescriptions for imaginations
A heavy toll on creativity
Like catching a fly mid-air
...
I am 10 feet tall
Biceps 14 inches round
Thighs pushing 600lbs
Calves that resemble melons
...
Crystals drip from the lips
Of spoiled profligates
Spilling forth bloodmoney
...
Impossible to convince yourself
So you try to convince others
The need to justify your actions
...
Flourescent halos
Seem sterilizing to me
Flooding every hidden shadow
...
What do her eyes see when she turns to look at me?
Do phantasmagorias plague her every waking moment?
...
Sorrow for those who cannot observe and interpret written word
Why sorrow?
...
Voices float around the room
landing on the lobes of my ears
Discernable and confusing
...
What once was a slumber
Now Rebuked
Aimless wind
Throwing razor blades at my face
...
I am 27 years old and have been writing poetry since i was 16. I have been diagnosed as being Bipolar as well as having ADHD. The only escape from the symptoms is either reading or writing poetry. I proudly do both.)
Walk
Take a walk with me and talk with me
About the world that we live in today
Cuz when we reach the shores of the river stix
We're each gonna have to pay
Pay for the sin
And pay for the pain
Pay for the wars we've waged
The ironic thing is
The wars we've waged
Are against ourselves
And against the RAGE
The RAGE of the world around us
Society that keeps us down
'Eye for an eye'
and 'Turn the other cheek'
Contradictory Phrases
Keep the future looking bleak
Religous beliefs
And political control
Hand in hand
They take their toll
Profligates and popes
Watching over us like herders of sheep and goats
They control all of our hopes
Leaving us no way to cope
