PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

That's a mighty fine costume you're wearing sweetheart

but punk rock hasn't  been dangerous for over 20 years now.
The swollen shut eye, the bricks to the head,

the extra tight handcuffs and the

cold backseat in the early morning light is long gone,
and for good.
You're floating down a path that's well trodden,

and beat down before you.
Enjoy it.
Take care of it.
Remember this as you walk along though;
One of the essential elements of punk rock

is not listening to punk rock.
