unless You,

Epilogue ...

In the end, when it was all said and done it was recorded that their demise came from within.
It was their arrogance
that proved to be that which devoured them.
Their inability to not only consider an others way,
but an inability to even, remotely, conceive
that there might be other ways.
And now they exist
no more
and no one
remembers
their names.

magical memories 
time spent well 
somewhere else 
beyond this hell 

no end standing 
to meet its match 
justification lags 
to batten down the hatch 

no longer it matters 
what problems survived 
for everything has changed 
in the blink of an eye 

shattered 
hopeless 
left in the streets
agony
all is complete 

tasteless art 
the poet in chains 
has no words of comfort 
for everything has changed 

looking for answers 
questions unknown 
exiled from reason
a star is borne

The pale barren land,
a blood stained hand,
the life of my love seeps into the ground.

The harsh bitter wind snaps frozen branches
from skeleton trees as they labor to bend,
their leaves stolen by the grey of winter.

The white Christmas dream has now become the nightmare's scream.

On the horizon the resurrection of Spring
and with the last ray of light
the hope of a better day.

I am tired of living amongst
the dead
the Godless
the lukewarm
the procrastinators
the do gooders
the misinformed
the disinformed
the reformed
the shills
the actors

and so it goes,

I am tired of living
in a world
hell bent
on a
suicide mission.

But I will
see it through,
I will run the race
and I will take the prize
promised me.

and so it goes,

I will not be forsaken.

Somebody,
Nobody,
Anybody,
Why?

 Much to strange,
unfortunate.

 Belonging to none,
beyond my understanding.

 For what purpose,
preplanned,
free fall,
befuddled.

 Time to stop.

 Forced to play
games without rules.
They get what they want,
but not quite as they thought.

 Stopped in their tracks,
ironic outcome 
as I walk around
forward,
never looking back.

There is a way
that guides one by
its never ending grace.

 And this I know
from the first moment
that everything began.

 Endless time that ever was
and ever yet will be,
has never ceased to
set me in flight
to seek my way back home.

 Who am I inside this shell
that seeks you more than life?

 As the clouds roll across my eyes
in tiny sparks I see,
that who I am inside this shell
is no one else but me.

Converge
Focus
Life and only Life

My Life
My Dignity
Disenfranchised from who I Am

Civil Liberties, Civil Unions
Arrogance, the American Way

Throughout History
the
Occupation of Supreme Sovereignty Redefined.

Breathe in, breathe out, after the in, before the out, another thing. What is that thing? If you've formed an opinion, you've missed the point. If you think you know, you've lost the meaning. Cage, capture . . . kill, destroy . . . What's the difference? - gloria valentine
