Paradox! Poem by Jay Kaminski

Drugs, Sex, Money, Propaganda!
Thats all these eyes see.
What happened to childhood innocence?
What happened to daydreams?
Dreaming ties mankind together!
I broke free from the knot at age six,
I propelled down the weary rope,
into eternal pun-
I sold my soul for my words,
I gave my heart for my song.
But I am TRUE!
Beyond imagination.
A paradox, yes,
but life is a paradox!
A pun.
Imagery.
Forever on aglow.
Burning like the brightest of roman candles.
Wax melting, turning rock to water,
streaming down the hillside, collecting,
and returning to stone once again.

Burnt!

Life is a paradox!
Haha! (echoes of laughter)
I said it, and my words are TRUE!
I never spoke no lie.
I never told no fib.
I am the pure one!
Oh so real-
Oh so TRUE!
