24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
Let’s Go Crazy
when all hell
is unleashed
and we have been broken
beyond measure
and the powers that be
blame it on the weather
what can we do?
how can we stop it?
when idiots rule
giving pain for pleasure
our hands may be tied
well beyond our backs
but our voices can scream
right the FUCK back!
(There is NO better pop star than Phil Collins. NONE
Even if ELO is the greatest full band for eternity
Man just listen to the song- It’s better than anything I could come up with)
Well now I know
There’s nothing harder to see
than whatever it is that keeps us going
But we’re still here
so it must exist
And if we can’t find it
No matter how hard we look
I guess we have to come to peace
with the knowledge that it’s hiding somewhere
Maybe right in plain sight.
We have come to an end
At long last
Eyes droop
Body sighs
Another year’s event
All tidied up into 24 musings
Sleep deprived
We face our computers
Giving it one last hurrah
The hour is late
The day was long done
Tomorrow is today
I am complete
I am shaken from sanity
The work is tucked away
Done Finished The End
lost, absent, vanished
stolen and destroyed
jealousy and revenge
wreak their evil end
and in the aftermath
plots for reprisal birthed
revenge not served cold
but hot, searing boiling
blood letting vengeance
not from the Lord
but at the hands of the victim
risen to maul and mutilate
those who inflict wounds
not to skin and bones
but hearts and minds and psyche
Her thoughts were, at times, volatile
Although he knew her for a while
To him, she appeared sublime
And thought of her thoughts as a chime
Fallen for her smile
He wished; for him, she walk down the aisle
Weird as she was,
She had her own style!
In her own heart
She was hostile
Little did he know,
She was running out of time
Ready to walk another mile
Nothing was worthwhile
She transformed into sunshine
Nobody could ever compile
Ghost Karma Episode 3
Tommy possessed David’s body
And started shooting in the police precinct
Until the Chief sent police to shoot
He ran
Tommy possessed David’s body
And wrecked his home and beloved radio
Tommy possessed David’s body
And caused a car crash on Golden Gate Bridge
Eleven cars, five dead bodies
Tommy possessed David’s body
And ran to the docks, tried to escape
Tommy possessed David’s body
And was imprisoned for life in Alcatraz
Cell block 6
Prisoner 2259
You told me that you loved me
but you lied
You told me you’d never leave me
But you lied
You said that we had time enough
To do what we wanted to do
I fell in love, believed you
But you lied.
Why did you waste my time?
Why did you waste my love?
Why did you make me waste away in grief?
Why did you make me love you
Knowing you couldn’t love me?
Even though you said you loved me
But you lied.
Poets in the Marathon. Yes, we were born to run. Finishing slow, fast, weak and strong. Yes, we were born to run. Any way you can, Yes, we were born to run.
With the words of Mercury and Bowie, how were we supposed to stay tame?
Bigger hair, parties, dreams.
Drugs and drugs and drugs galore.
Dancing until our feet take control and walk us home themselves.
Age of no regret, anything goes.
