Stars Within Stars (A Sky Full of Scars)A Poem by Sweet & Tender HooliganThere's poetry in everything.Listen to your feet they're drawn to someone else's path. Sometimes we should remind ourselves it could be worse. Pull out your eyes and you'll see they're longing for things not there. Feelings are like stars ashes of time leaving trails, Constellation's of scars map life's romanticised truths. Ignorance colours in the gaps of make believe, Deep down there's poetry in everything. Stars within stars - cosmic scars (Invariably we're all mazes) Empty relics filled with regrets. Dreams buried in murderous land, Thoughts of thoughts seeking escape. Heartbeats sounding like a harmony of torture, Drifting out to sea in the cosmos of a cluttered mind. In our real news we're tired of ourselves, Politics of the undead - all politics deprives. In some real news the poor are swept away and buried, Pages mourn for you - blank paper screams for life. Eyes painted away mouths written over, Poetry scribbled on flesh with invisible tears. History maps pain, Murderous land hides it's dead. Life's battles swell guts tight and clench ribs, The gut of the universe spews out dust and stars.
