2010 Poem by Rue Palmer

COMING TO A CLOSE
FULL OF MEMORY OF LONG
CRYING TALE, STARTED WITH A BANG
AS ALWAYS AND SLOW TO A CRAWL, AFTER MARCH
APRIL WAS THAT MONTH THAT MY MOM TURN
93 AND YES WE CELEBRATE WITH GOD MERCIES..

THE BIG BANG,50 YES WAS MY TURN TO MATURE
INTO THAT PERSON, GRAND CHILD WOULD COME NEXT
AND THE WORLD NEVER THE SAME, , X TURN 13 WITH A
MARK OF NEVER RETURN, WHEN HE VIOLATE ALL RULES
AND SPEND NIGHTS IN THE PEN NOW ON THE ROLL
THAT NEVER CALL, , NEEK AS USUALLY PLAY THE GAME
LEFT AND RIGHT MISTAKES AFTER MISTAKE TO
BECOME THAT GIRL AT 13..

WEEZY SEE LIFE AS NEVER BEFORE, FOCUS AND
DEEP IN THOUGHTS, BOOKS AND EDUCATION TAKE
ALL HER TIME TO BECOME 21 AND HEADING FOR
THE SKY, , TANYA MOVE AWAY AND TRADE HER MARK ON
LIFE COURSE PRODUCE A CHILD NOLA, FIRST GRAND CHILD
PALMER SX9 WELCOME..

YES IT WAS 2010 AND ALL THINGS WAS NEVER THE SAME
FOR LIFE BRINGS IT MISFORTUNE IN ALL AVENUE AND LANES
COUNTRIES AND STATES, AND MY LIFE WAS NEVER THE SAME
OF BETRAYAL AND DECEIT, SORROWFUL DISPLAY OF WOMANS
DISHONEST AND FADED GLORY OF SELF, YES IT WAS 2010
AND GOD WAS NEVER SEEN IN THE SAME LIGHT, MY HEART SPEAKS
AND MY SOULS LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT WE SEE
IS LIFE AND DEATH AND LIFE SHARE THE SAME MOTHER, AND YOU AND I
ARE ONLY DISTANT COUSIN TRYING TO KNOW WHATS BEST.

IT WAS 2010 I READ THE BIBLE TO ITS FINAL PAGES REVELATION,
AND SAW THE FLAMES OF GLORY FADE BEFORE MY EYES AND YES
GOD IS REAL AND HE IS IN ME. MY WIFE WOULD BECOME THE TEMPLE THAT
NEVER WAS, AND SLOWLY FADE IN GROWN TWIGS IN DARK PLACES,

TODAY WE STAND FOR IT IS DECEMBER, AND AS WE
COUNT DOWN FROM THE BRUISED OF 2010 WE INDEED HOPE TOMORROW BRING TRUE LOVE AND A DIFFERENT FRAME OF MIND. SO ALL
SOULS WILL BE ABLE TO STRIVE AND MAKE THIS PIECE OF SOIL
PEACEFUL AND ORGANIC, WALK GOOD..
