Simply

"Simply"

I fear that I was pushed.

I've fallen.

Fallen far into an abyss.

I've hit bottom and find,

There's nothing I miss.

Nothing that I want.

No dreams.

No desire,

Nothing I miss.

I can't feel the fire.

Fallen too far.

Too dark.

Where no rope can reach.

Where finally there are,

No lessons to teach.

And it simply is,

Simply,

What it is going to be.

Nothing I can do.

Never free.

Burdened with a future.

Bound,

Tied down by a past.

Because simply,

Nothing lasts.

Because it simply is,

Simply,

What it was meant to be.

And simply,

That's not enough for me.

Prejudice

"Prejudice doesn't just go away, knowing when to behave correctly does not free anyone from prejudice. Prejudice must take many generations to fade, I still witness it because of many social & cultural mistakes that began centuries before I was born. Simple respect and equal possibilities are all I would like, prejudice will only fade in its own time."

Pet Semetary - little Gage then and now

he was such a cute little boy / demon child zombie I was curious:

 

"It Is What It Is"

A hard telling,

I've to tell.

At it's end,

It didn't end well.

It spawned hate.

An ending forebode.

None should follow,

And carry this load.

The onset of winter,

The heart of cold.

Longing an embrace,

None will hold.

I know I ramble,

Again, again and again.

For this story.

Has naught a begining or end.

It is what it is,

Never more than that.

Neurons flash traveled paths.

Endings with no way back.

I did wish, I did believe.

That upon our end you would see.

But you never had the hope.

To fight for me.

Hansel or Gretel

  

“Hansel or Gretel?”

Don’t really matter...

Did you hear that creek?

Did you feel that crack?

I feel hunger.

Do you know the way back?

No, no. Wait, watch,

Come to feed the fish?

Drop a coin.

Make a wish.

The pond is silent.

The bed is naught but salt.

It’s been that way,

Forgotten waltz.

The waters gone black,

Drop your coins, spill your tears.

This pond’s been stagnant,

Too many years.

So...

“Hansel or Gretel?”
  

Don’t really matter...

Do you hear the creek?

Do you feel the crack?

I feel hunger.

Do you know the way back?

"Blink"

History moved,

Right passed me.

Touch the button,

Push to see.

Auto flash?

Do you understand?

In focus?

It's in your hand.

A blur? A shudder?

A momentary frame?

An instant? A blink?

Nothing's the same.

Flash Burn Moments

"Flash Burn Moments"

Light pours from the heavens

It cuts like a knife

Flash burn moments

Of a sad little life

The drops come in droves

As if falling from the sky

Does all the water of Niagara

Rest behind these eyes

A city full of buildings

Not a single light is on

Walk the streets alone

I am the only one

These images so sharp

As they rip me apart

Exploding within

Piercing my heart

Like a barren rock

Adrift in space

I lay down to rest

I have found my place
