Truth In The Streets

Despair in the streets
Yet hope in their eyes
So many stories
Yet free of disguise

Lost were the jobs
Families and homes
Bound by faith
Feel not alone

Gone are the comforts
Self worth defined
Appear having nothing
Life rebuilt

bespeckled by a dog hair whispered on the size of a giant

the blue roof falls through a golden ring from the elephant

a self styled martyr confides while the swordsmen use liquid sticks

but the brains are in operation the efficiency must be quick

sand is dried in the arid land postmen pump information

So sweet and gentle they all look in their way

Wondering eyes hugs pile on you to stay

surprise has come and the thrill has gone. the wind taken from the sails and Medusa gave her stare. icy cold stone death awaits the onlookers of such hideous evil. the liquid filling your guts as you turn to solid stone but you mind still struts. the island a hundred steps wide and the mines

'this' and 'that'

I don't understand 'this'
I am confused by 'this'.
Why does 'this' cause me so much pain?
And why does 'this' make me smile with joy?
What is 'this'?
People say 'this' is 'that'
But I have felt 'that' before
And it didn't feel like 'this'.

But then what else could have been done?

Towards languid dreariness of land-locked provinces

Visiting team sailed off home believing itself undefeated

They say that I am wise...
That I give good advice...
But I should not be wise...
I am too young to be the one
to whom all the people turn
when wits don't help and hopes are gone...

I fast grew old and now for youth I yearn...
I should be unwise guided by heart

the wall is rough as im waiting for you

the way is obstructed nothing i can do

legs getting stiff where are my friends

It rolls in wave upon wave

Heartache in play she begins

Truthful feelings she must persuade

To leave love and me behind again

its getting late body trained and mind drained of consequential happenings. boredom and love a fierce battle. i love life but do i love my life. who knows because who knows what life is.

the white trash side of my mind kicks in the door rationality is pursued my the left and the right is out for
