The Silent OnesA Poem by Aziz LutherI wrote this poem on a piece of paper a while back and as I went thru my stuff found it thought I'd post it. Whatcha think. Life as a writerI love when the storm approaches Tornado rises killing of people like roaches Better, is it like the scorching sun? Or bloody moon shot with the sun's gun Out of the ashes the Phoenix rises Cool, what about the dragon that burned the city? What about the mountain that erupted? What about the weak? The poison washes and I'm better than yesterday That's why I won't learn because better is pain Heavy is yolk but lighter in the chain Some of the darkness is hard to explain I'm loving the hurt hating the heat I'm blazing in glory as death comes for me Reality is gory the normal is boring My only excitement is beating death in mornings Going to war all night always the same story I stay cool, so y'all ignore me It's art so y'all applaud me I'm imploding killing myself softly Your recognition lures me, back to death, it ends gory © 2014 Aziz Luther |
