yet they’ve managed to stand this test
called time…
Thrashing around in various bushes,
hidden are angels and demons sporting
gold wings and toothed nooses, most
become smitten in the latter of these two…
With these trumped-up ideologies and
notions that appear to get them from
beginning to end.
They sit alone in macabre existence,
when wanting nothing more than the
path of least resistance. .
How they manage I’ve often wondered,
for me death would be the best option
or would it?
Smiling faces with so much to hide
visions of martyrs in formation to die..
Snap out of it, your life means a great
deal more..
Stop gravitating toward your own
termination, chin up perpetual souls
this game called life is waiting for you
to learn, you have countless more to go.
Each life is a lesson of things our souls
are meant to achieve, for without them
we would be unimpressive
as fleas… [comments] => 1 [counter] => 60 [topic] => 39 [informant] => drogedarain [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
