take from these what you will
how easy can it be to gain from someone else’s bitter loneliness poison pill
is it wisdom for the wise
to see thru cloudy tear-stained eyes
to whom may I belong
for no crime have I done wrong
to suffer abandoned fate
for nothing am I forced to wait
with horizon of empty view
in belief of what was never true
the butt of upper class jokes
the filter of society smokes
does anyone take pleasure guilt
does this shelter what my words have built
does anyone know life more
does any of this make clear their score
does anyone leave all on the field
do these poems serve anyone as their shield
I know not who sees all this
I am pledged to an ignorance bliss
the holidays pries off the lid
happy new year to the emotionally stupid kid
maybe one day I will find
a soul or heart of like kind
if ever a girl lets me view
her heart to know she is true
the hope of condition humane
before this lifetime may wane
will I cease production in prose
will happiness see where this goes
accused of emotional war
of conquest I never fought for
free of satire or insult
my words turned into a scapegoat
told I was someone to fear
only one arranged me not come near
rejected by love and by trade
the days gone when once had it made
what once made me insufferable
turned me to love’s romantic troll
this is the last I swore
I gave all of me and more
to my grave
goodbye to me wave
.
