COLD HAMMERS

Folder: 
JOURNAL#10

surely you will be damned once in the mouth of the

impending flame

screening even the smallest obscenity

replacing it with some form of self blame

like fault on the part of he who so chose not to care

or incrimination for those who harshly swore for the

souls of those that they could not spare

we're like pigeons with tattooed name plates

heaven and hell minus the gold and grid iron gates

or sympathy shuttled about upon rusted roller skates

by a simplified reason of unquestioned insanity

through out the masses in the eyes of he who only hates

so give me no crocodile's idea of remorse and I won't be

forced to throw in your face some jadedly cynical retort

for even in the heart that's in an all fired hurry

there is no ready made call to report

only shaking legs of bitter trepidation like wise cows

who've finally figured out just what those cold black

hammers are really used for............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

how many people do not fair so well under strained circumstances but some are wise enough to rise above what is and not be bitter but choose to be hopeful and or positive. It's all in the attitude baby, its all in the attitude!
