Is it time?
Have we bottled all we may,
and drained the barrel?
Then stripped it down
and burned its interior?
Can we still see the green?
The pure just body
Does it mourn in our
own imagetive way
to fall to the lush ground?
Can the not so common folk
hear the frightful snap and boom
...
there is a place I know
that is natural and slow
a place where the river runs
and the trees weigh tons
its brodened sun knows the clouds
and the grass grows in shrouds
people don't care for the time
they just care for the sunshine
the lizards sit for a tan
because they have no fear...
one day I asked my father
what he was doing.
he replied
I'm trying to figure out
why the world sucks so much?
I was puzzled by this
then he said
for a untalented wolf
we are the food....
everything seems much sadder
when its not on the silver plater
,and its cool shine
is forgotten in time
keep it up poor sheep
for you will weep
becuase everyone's time comes...
