Pretty lade, she likes my pretty face
Her house and bed shame in place
Power struggle
Struggling inside me to do the right thing
Eyes that see too much
Fingers taken away, stray places hide

Can I have mine?
Jesus, picture fix neglect
You, such importance
Fit me to my yoke
Carry it, carry on
Stubborn not very strong

Introduce me to such a beautiful lady
Playing with my spinal cord
I could carry her, but run instead
Fear loss fleeing from my life
Lace barely amazing
There has got to be something better...

Group gathered in a circle
The guilt I have to face
Holding stones in their hands
I've come to take my place
Nothing stands to try and stop it
Here's the just reward for such disgrace

balloons are made of rubber...
... and they float too...
as will I to Heaven once I die...

i love this. the notion that pleasure can lead to pain or shame at times is daunting...if not unfair. and the fact that justice seems to abandon people in times of need.... and i think you expressed all that brilliantly in this poem.
well worded and deep.
a very good read - regardless of the saddening ending.

Thank you.  Thats sorta what happens when you do something stupid and get to feel guilty about it.
