Uncertainty escorts me from sleep Walking comas seem contagious these days Safety requirements spill in the seas Reason fails to reach private worries Wearing a helmet in traffic composes noise like a ballet Running after tomorrows begging for just 1 more light of day I should be pleased I suffered only lose of hearing While time upholstered promises made by mankind Despite proposed defeated elections There are effects laying all over their rhymes Dirty laundry echoes, “It’s had a good day”! Wondering what it will grow now? Applications hungry for anyone under the age of Eighteen People packed in make shift boats like sardines Someone empties the bedpan From Sion’s holy stream While world leader’s change their slogans with each new dream Enriching potentials are users of reactors Looking for history in a business directory Space laid aside for vulgar anchors While middle aged singles are still looking for love? Well, at least pregnant women can now use handicapped spots Me I’m refinancing and following directions to the sunny spots After hearing something about Ash Wednesday Severing myself from this trailer of film Feeling very confident with my seclusion by my lagoon While reading an awfully good novel Bout a man who keeps looking for jewels All this before with that first cup of coffee My eyes grow courage and widen with each sip Crawling out onto the beach of today Flickering heroes giggle in some dark room While the old man looks on like a loving father Some great wheel turns another event into conviction I’m transported back into the middle ages, thinking… Now! Who’s going to drive me to work, Huh? I’m drowning in this suit of armor World some buddy please call 911? Or at best, won’t you lease me a trail blazer One that’s been previously owned Gwad… If only Bugsy could see Las Vegas Now! |

LeeJ These lines alone could stand as poem... "While world leader’s change their slogans with each new dream Enriching potentials are users of reactors Looking for history in a business directory" I watch the tabloid news sometimes myself If it were not for them thinking they are serious journalists, the show would be funny. "fair and balanced, indeed... The entire poem rocks...great job...  ummm, who is "bugsy" in the last line? The old gangster? Thats what fits in my mind anyway... enjoyed _________ice ><> |
