Sometimes Down HereA Poem by Scott Lee
it's not easy
down here covered in thick dense smog it's not easy to breathe down here awful hands turning all wheels of absolute corruption it makes my skin slide I see diamond backs run fast in tall grass mania it gets hard to survive down here pack up your bag it's starting to snow your back pressed tight against dead man's road I hope you find a good place to rest tonight. brave one I hope that your heart doesn't get too tough out there. I hope soft rains still can quench your thirst. Sometimes down here we all get so lost it's hard to find home again. I know. I've been there been run down like a two legged dog shot to pieces by hate been bit back behind the razor fences slicing me deep down Soul Gusher falling fast pushed inside and manipulated by everyone. been hurt too much seeing death come by and taking people away with genocide. somebody been lying way too much for way too long I been watching real close to that brainwashing raining down. they be training soldiers too well. but they be coming back worse than damaged. PTSD for life. they can't stop screaming I know I see em. I talk to em out there. they're everywhere. sometimes down here they say it's easy to lose your soul but if you ask me the soul wasn't made for killing but for shining and that's why madness comes down the mountain popping like a thunderous, serious mud slide- a battalion of military eyes after the war. Sometimes down here they say your heart ain't ever right again look at all those holes from all those bullets burning scarlet fire down to hell's canyon. look at the black empty hole of my soul who now can feed that? I must come back to a hard forgiveness that I don't know if I can find where tears run so deep they feel like a mountain of ice slowly melting away years that's what it takes a mountain of ice that needs time maybe not enough time. Sometimes down here is the best of times I could laugh again in the memories of where we been what you said who I was and the youth that held true to our heart's. it ain't easy down here waiting for something to shine down from up there and hit me here right there deep down in the bullet wounds of our souls. I keep on dreaming down here wishing for you to come back to me. my heart has known no greater longing than this ache sliding down this icy mountain fall burning like angels dying calling out for a misunderstood and sometimes forgotten God. © 2015 Scott Lee |
