Good Night Casey

A Poem by lee von cleef
"

A living truth

"
Goodnight Casey
Goodnight my darling prove my love
With surveillance  
With gossip
With the inquisitor  
With paper plates and a keypad gate
Goodnight my darling tuck yourself in
Under the corporate quilt occupying your  
Constitutional core  
You’ll go a roving no more
Who’s chosen institution, repulsive consent?
Ethical trespass, consensual maneuvers
You watch em, you break em down, you blame em for their problems
Rationalize the corporate cost, sleep well tonight .
 
Pontius Pilot behold your 
Mother 
Well groomed, choreography life unhinged 
Court appointed conqueror 
No contribution Casey
No legacy Casey 
Dishonorable discharge daddy
Body of proof discarded  
Memoir of a WWII bomber pilot
Your wishes, the way you lived your life 
Your essence is extinguished, ignored, cremated, 
Manipulated
Respect, you don’t get it 
Court appointed relationship prevails 
The Trust B gratitude dissolved
The legal fishing knot indiscriminately
Spews seed spawning emotions everywhere
Encumbered frustration 
The swearers swell fat suckling justice 
You gave your love to all Casey 
Now hate will divorce 
Now drown, now suffocate every attachment 
Clean your plate
Casey your life was wrong 
Your catch colt’s wall-eyed enlightenment 
Vision of equality…..Free
Another myth to be expunged from a lifelong belief 
Freedom equality resonate no relevance today  
Lounge in your thoughts 
She is a goddess 
She talks to angels 
Go with the long haired men 
“A man who can’t face up to facts when he has to 
is not worth his soul.”
Messenger of the covenant [mal, 3:1]
Turn around you are going the way.
If you will not have him as your savior 
You will have him as your judge 
Like it or not.
Kippling saw “A rag, a bone, and a hunk of hair”
Goodnight Casey
Beauty through character, Blair is coming.

Two sides to every story but the way my Father is ignored is wrong.

someone whose art I admired once told me that when our words meet metal, we can change the world

I can't help thinking that he meant words like these
