perched as he was
on the brink of it all
drawn by a curiosity
of the feline persuasion
the stops along the way
he’d once called home
the silly things
he had yet to do
the serious things
he took all too seriously
and the people
the bright
beautiful
benevolent
people
oh, and the bastards, too
the snotty
self-absorbed
snake in the grass
bastards
long forgotten faces
in a photo album
left in an attic
placed in the cruel hands
of time
as he sat there
on the edge
precarious
peering
pondering
everything seemed to be
such a long way
down

you were looking for an excuse to post poetry weren't you

[gran guerrero]

no really I copied this

Breathing

In
And
Outside
Funnelling
Throughout all our minds
Finding the reflection of who
We are and why we are here, these questions are not so
Clear
Turn
The page
Spiralling
Through eternity
Time and space are just illusions
Figuring out what is real, I ask myself who am
I
To
Deny
My beliefs
Wondering the truth
That my mind, body and soul wants to
Seek for clarity, I learn that I just have to be…

ok it was just me posting some of my poetry

hijackin this thread 4 all the poets out there who just want to break free from the injustice of silence!!!

History Returned

Humans, humans
Everywhere
Have nothing better
But to kill and scare
Bodies, bodies
On the ground
Bloodshed
All around
Jesus
On the cross
Black people
With a cotton farming boss
Spanish inquisition
Lives were lost
Help us, help us
Cries unheard
No mercy is undeserved
Hide us, hide us
Abide our lives
Please don’t leave us all deprived
For we live in fear
Not everything is at it appears
Savages
Trail of tears
Indian lands now ravaged
Witches in Salem
It’s the devil’s work
So hang them
Red hunt
Communists with their evil schemes
Start with the one out front
Jews
Auschwitz gas chambers
Who else is there to pursue?
Terrorists
They’re all from the Mid. East
Kill them all, even the pacifists
Why, why
Is history returned?
Hanged, shot, drowned and burned
Your language is weird
Your ways are jeered
Your clothes are too bright
And your skin is not white
Wait, Wait
Accuse the accusers
Persecute the persecutors
Violence, violence
Stop living in silence
It’s not too late
To change our fate

you were looking for an excuse to post poetry weren't you

was working on the design of a chapbook to be handed out at an upcoming gallery showing. poets and artists are partnered and the artist has free reign to create visually what the poet has painted with words.

so yeah, i really had that on my clipboard. :P

wouldn't mind getting another poetry thread going though. it's been awhile. that being said, i haven't written anything in a looong time.

But high winds and
torrential rain
left much of the region without
electricity or telephone service,
forced schools
to close and sent rivers over
their banks

authorities said two men died
after being swept away
by floodwaters,
though some put
the toll
at five
