PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

which of the two falls before the frantic first

you and I fight for what's left of even the worst

when we can't agree we strive to fill every other

possible thirst

our combined hunger and energies only get wasted

when damns of aged distrust abruptly burst

I can't be expected to turn my entire life around on

just a hint of a disregarded dime

just as trust can not be taught nor pass for a person's

literal life time

so we quickly jump up to start yet another line

one that can hopefully keep each of us straight and not

foil our frail future's gentle decline............
