my face cracks
as night falls
and I
I start to drool
after the medication roll call

My Iceberg melts slowly
on a tropical sea of dismay
its hard to function
living in a burning confusion
with hands made of clay

conflict of interest
is bringing me down
crosstown traffic
overwhelms the matrix right now

the method to my madness
almost made me fall off my cloud
my latest malfunction
spins me round and round

Averages and trends are informative
we use the knowledge
there are things that we need to know
every one is different
so what works for some
may not work for every one

there are times
we need to pause
and disconnect from negative shades
technology is moving so fast
the collective rules
humanity fades

life is like a game of chess
and
I do not know how to play
but if you give me some checkers
I can be in the game

the landscape keeps changing
my face cracks
as night falls
I listen with my eyes
as footsteps echo down the hall [comments] => 0 [counter] => 78 [topic] => 61 [informant] => unknown_utopia [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles ) Your Poetry Dot Com - The Landscape Is Changing

The landscape is changing
my face cracks
as night falls
and I
I start to drool

conflict of interest
is bringing me down
crosstown traffic
overwhelms the matrix right now

the method to my madness

the landscape keeps changing
my face cracks
as night falls
I listen with my eyes
as footsteps echo down the hall
