Not of this world
Doesn’t comprehend
The human species or
Intent
Two cool barrels
Upward ceiling bound
Metallic taste of oil
And steel, denounce
Despair and pain
45 horses cum
A Colt on the verge
Of releaseβ¦..
THUNDER
and red red rain
Against virgin walls
Down into pools
Upon the floor
Where Iron fills
The open air
With the inevitable
Stench
Of death
Efforts are lost
Wasted
The lack
Of quid pro quo
The busiest pens
Notable friends
Armed with quills
And Wifi
Sharing voices
Celebrating change
Pushing
Pushing
For A Community’s identity
Again
“To Change or Kill the World
It MUST Be Done”
As the flags empty montra
Fly at half staff
No one asks
But you give and you give
Hoping for a better tomorrow
And
Silenceβ¦
NKOTB expectations laughable
Maybe two or three
Out of Hundreds See
The meaning and react to the words and The Call
And within a few moments
Of personal reflection
Is this All that there is?
Are the pens laser focused
On the next line or title
Digging Deep
Within Themselves
The actions shared
Comments declared
Liked with enthusiasm
Followed by hushed
Silence
Alien boy
Not of this world
Doesn’t comprehend
The human species or
Intent
So take me away
I’m going home now
With my empty echoes
Reverberating from
Throughout the room
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m comingβ¦β¦.
