Legacy

Legacy

A Poem by Nobody.

Legacy

 

World in your hand
Wilted and charred

Oceans of tears

Deserts of scars

 

Beautiful dreams

Poisoned with lies

Laughter and love

Threaten to die

 

Singular life

Sliced; divided

Everyone bleeds

Blade’s two sided

 

Fuse ignited

Clock in the red

No turning back

Steep drop ahead

 

Grab all you can

Kill and devour

Dead never rise

Treasures turn sour

 

Gold can’t be saved

All days find ends

Souls move along

Darkness descends

 

Lifetimes are judged

Deeds remembered

Memories stained

Blood, lies, cinders

 

All that remains

Is what you pass

World in your hand

Broken and smashed

If words could stop wars this would do it.

Appropriately, there is no hard shiny surreal images to decipher making it plain to Joe Shmoe reader who doesn't get the heavy stuff. Things like this are better left plain and sharp as this work is, to slice through the ignorance. That this is so far removed from your usual I read it as you shouting to the simpletons: See...it's not hard to understand, it is what it is...and this is what you're doing.

Maybe I'm getting more out of this than I should...but I do tend to fall hard into your pieces...

Nothing like a chirpy end to the day.

A great progression of strong images down into the darkness, deeper and more committed with each word.
