Grey GiantsA Poem by Jacky Bones
The grey giants scrape the sky
When they stand up Only for a limited time A thousand eyes and each one is ruff Every shoulder bump is another gun shot Another fallen giant, another mass Grave Children clasp their hands When their mothers tell them to pray though They find it hard to keep their eyes closed When silhouettes are all that remain of these formal smiles God grant serenity to the lost child Lets let the tired Finally get some sleep We are the crazies those that dream Dream of hearing a heart beat Not just the sound of distant feet Nor the repeating screech of the preachers preach The racing day, that they try to Fill with more than they got You can fill it up, but it Just sounds like bills in the cup Lust for the fucked The Whiskey bloods These streets map out your veins Life spits rust in your face All the angels on the giants Shoulders fall from grace But wait, we gotta back track, rewind, retake Find our place Another mother prays or cries as she watches her only child fall into that mass grave
