Is this rock we float upon
Many questions but no answers
Are these books we rely on

A dream within a dream
Hypnotized, nothing real
A prisoner it would seem
Awaiting my last meal

Look to the heavens
Pray for a sign
Pray for the heathens
Who won’t reconcile in time

Wounded and depraved
The sky becomes thin
It’s the road that we paved
No one can possibly win
People are afraid
They wear it on their skin

You speak of freedom
Yet you breed contempt
You have chosen the victim
Darker then you ever dreamt

Motionless words
Stagnant at best
Feed for the birds
Spew out what’s next

A solution, no doubt
A prophesy bestowed
Redemption, no doubt
To whom am I now owed?

Nothing Short of Spectacular

Wow, how eerie---this really reminded me of more recent stuff...Haunting almost....You did really well on this one. Scorp.

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©
