This one truly lived a beautiful life

This one truly

lived a beautiful life

Just        her         eyes,

Vaults of celestial sky

The bright cerulean iris, bearing God’s genetics

Her skeleton ornamented in baggy wool

and sacred piercings  

If I had to guess,

I would go so far to say

that if stripped down to just her bones

one could expect to find what looked more like

glazed pieces of petrified wood.

 

The beauty of the heavens was reflected

in her very being

her arms outstretched to the sky

she was not a child of God,

but a part of God

lacking in most people

 

this is the age of distraction

my attention span is fragmented

by smoke breaks and inbox alerts

words are dead

PEACE

Has been manufactured and printed on t-shirts for capital gains

So now they really got us

Because I never even internalized the word peace

Until yesterday, but I always use to draw

Peace signs on my notebooks in school

 

the American dream is just that

a dream

life is no longer sustainable

by baseball games and bubble gum

the capital system is breaking down

wealth is concentrated

and truth is swept under the rug

most of us don’t even care anymore

“so long as I get that lil’ ole girl with that lil’ ole somethin’ down there ‘tween her legs boy”

materialism...sigh
we're all guilty of it

this poem is a perfect example of a bridge between two thoughts

it's a bipolar poem.
a multiple personality poem. Could be two seperate but better as one. It represents the speed of transition of thought topics within your mind (or all our minds) and the emotions that go with the thoughts. Good ol hillbilly ending to it made it meaningful and american.
Thats how it appears to me. Pretty good poem my friend.
