![]() Our Imaginations; Our RealitiesA Poem by Julianna Marie
There were grown men on their knees
like crawling children, reveling in their own s**t, unable to get up and walk away, unable to act their ages. Everyone was an angel with human skin, shaking down to their knees, Screaming in gospels of hatred, dancing in devilish beats and melodies unheard and unmatched, Was it all just in our minds? (I created you, and you created me to be everything we knew we hated enough to love.) Brilliant minds thrown to s**t, destroyed by chasing moonlight until the sun refused to shine and burnt itself out into the flames of our intangibility; the flames of our failures. Dreams of acceptance fall as untouchable euphemisms on our enslaved consciousness, We all search for the quick escape, leaving bloody footprints in every direction. I try to sleep throughout the apocalyptic reality, the day-in, day-out, I-don’t-know-what-I-really-want, eyes forced open by the ugliness of the truth, society gropes blindly at its beloved ignorance. You were there, hand in unlovable hand with your indifference, I watched you from a distance as my teeth fell out one-by-one into precise graveyard-plotted rows. Was it all just in our minds? © 2011 Julianna Marie |
