(((Don'T You Know? ?)))

Rating: 4.9


Don't YOU know what YOU All are doin'?

Havn't YOU any care in YOU at all?

How do Ya' ever sleep at night?

Down this old River Walk...YOU Fall;



The Seasons they are a changin'...

The leaves of time are blowin' 'cross the plains...

Frost and icy wind comes hollerin' after YOU...

And the ole Sun is Beginning to wane;



YOU all need to face up to all of YOUR Ghosts, pronto...

YOU need to check in, on your skeletons too...

'Cause the Winter White...its a comin'...oh ya! ! !

And in the end of it all (Just past Fall) that there blame-

(Its headin' straight for YOU)

Patricia, you also understood this. There is a lot of suspence. This write was written from personal experience. I have been and am at times being stalked. Am a staunch victims rights advocate. Thank you for reading and commenting, Blessings, Theo

I like this; we are being stalked but we just go on like everything's normal business-as-usual. I love the atmosphere of suspense.

This piece makes your readers contemplate about themselves........skeletons on the cabinet, ghost within which is our conscience that shadows us..........Great poem dear! ! !
