PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you walk a straight line long enough

and you'll see

the longest winding road



you march on the drumbeat long enough

and you'll see,

you'll hit the hardest wall



call me crazy but you'd think they'd pad those things

winding my way between stares..at a screen



surrounded by faces that are exit signs

enter left, enter right

come to the same conclusion,

buried a few feet under the solution



diplomats for hopelessness

t-shirts from the circus

but i prefer not feeding the animals



now, you talk a straight line long enough

and you'll see

talking heads spin like wind vanes



you sit in against the drums all alone

and you'll see,

you have to stand against it all



call me lazy but you think you'll ever do a thing?

winding my way between stares..at a screen



surrounded by facimilies

worth even less mass-produced

come to the same conclusion

but to me..they always had much more potential



then they were lead to believe

by the t/v

and the text book that tied them down

saying they could be anything



under these circumstances



diplomats for hopelessness

t-shirts from the circus

but i prefer not feeding the animals



bread and water

trapped in their own prison

to the adopted beliefs are these orphans



surrounded by some friends that are exit wounds

back and to the left, enter right

victims and maybe criminals

fog lays a few feet over the evidence



understand that i love them



diplomats for hopelessness

t-shirts from the circus

but i prefer not feeding the animals



bread and water

trapped in their own prison

to the adopted beliefs are these orphans



maybe they just need time we're running out of

understand that i love them

maybe they just need time we're running out of

understand that i need time

maybe i just need time to figure them out

time we're running out of

dear diplomats...
