Banned, as mere rubbish upon the weed infested corner of humanity’s dregs. Cast upon the stinking, sweltering heap of life’s flotsam and jetsam which lazily floats the current of destitute and despairing souls. If not for the anger laden shoe torn from the slip of heel and cast in an unforgiving arch, a mere mongrel might dine the gruel and wash flowing ever endless to a waiting sea. Rains pelt the worn stones, causing rivulets of mire to flow in torrents to the waiting gutter. Might eyes of slinking tails scurry before swirling waters drown? Pitiful, the haggard soul, as ribs upon a weary breast shine shadows of starvation. Sleep, fitful, in shivers and shakes, as lips thirst the vine’s wrath once more before sunrise brings the frosted chill of death to weakened corpses still frosting the air’s breath. Banned, the lives of dirt that stand and stare through lifeless eyes. Eyes where only a dull darkness is seen....for death waits the pass of eve... |

Barry..You're good at putting yourself in someone elses shoes...it's called empathy...a good characteristic, but may be painful for you. Take care, huh! |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a very caring spirit and it pains me to imagine the many homeless and lepers out there who truly are banned of their given rights and are the most needing we must reach out to! (sad sigh) This is so well-written, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
