lucas altenberg Poems

The sun doesn’t burn as bright to me,
I’m never truly happy,
I’m never truly free,
The sun doesn’t burn as bright to me,
...

We were walkers across the sky,
We were the seekers in the sand,
We were crawlers in the mud.
...

The road to power,
it's walked with patience,
And littered with bodies,
It's bright,
...

Nobody loves the jealous man,
They smirk at him,
Laugh at him behind their hands,

Nobody loves the jealous man,
...

I went to the woods to live deliberately,
To suck the bone marrow out of life,
And to give meaning to meaningless words,

I found a black man there,
...
