Array ( [sid] => 127194 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Conductor [time] => 2006-10-20 19:53:47 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The train keeps rolling while the track grows thin,
While the conductor hits top speed with a menacing grin,
Fog fills the air with no sunlight to clear,
The track still slippery from the worlds lost tears,
Children litter the track but they provide useless resistance,
Because the trains soul purpose is to end their existence,
Who will step forward who will end all the Pain,
A dark figure emerges under the blanket of rain,
Dragging something heavy,
Could it be the answer?
He lurches on forward like a slow spreading cancer,
He begins to laugh as he fills the train with fuel,
How could his dark heart be so black and cruel?
He turns to the children and waves a sarcastic good bye,
As the cool night airs fills with their pitiful cries,
I suddenly awaken to the sound of my screaming,
Filled with relief as I was only dreaming,
But at the end of my bed sits the canister of gas,
Was I that dark figure?
And this dream my last,

The Conductor

The train keeps rolling while the track grows thin,
While the conductor hits top speed with a menacing grin,
Fog fills the air with no sunlight to clear,
The track still slippery from the worlds lost tears,
Children litter the track but they provide useless resistance,
Because the trains soul purpose is to end their existence,
Who will step forward who will end all the Pain,
A dark figure emerges under the blanket of rain,
Dragging something heavy,
Could it be the answer?
He lurches on forward like a slow spreading cancer,
He begins to laugh as he fills the train with fuel,
How could his dark heart be so black and cruel?
He turns to the children and waves a sarcastic good bye,
As the cool night airs fills with their pitiful cries,
I suddenly awaken to the sound of my screaming,
Filled with relief as I was only dreaming,
But at the end of my bed sits the canister of gas,
Was I that dark figure?
And this dream my last,

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. ©
