Graveyard Bed

That hollow feeling

in the pit of my stomach

are artificial nutrients

used to fertilize flourishing lands

of those already rich.

 

The dark void

that echoes in my heart

was created by

deafening cries of children

I never met yet sentences to hell.

 

Those empty thoughts

plaguing my mind

is an infection

of educational lessons

disguising media tools gone viral.

 

I feel the need dig my own grave

in the bed that I made

so that when I awake

I may eat, feel and think

like that of a newborn baby.

This is very dark...and carries a lot of grief and remorse echoing through the words...you captured a lot in this short piece. Great job Dale.

like a form of social control we are expect to act like a zombie, just as long as we follow suit, do as we are told. well, I ain't a very good follower when it comes to this stuff, I guess. I like making up my own mind, too. Great job Dale!

brilliant and profound - a yearning to see a world of innocence again -

A cry for those who are oppressed, the media that poisons our brains , time to rethink... it is such a shame that our world is in this state... it is really sad.
Dale you stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves so to say..
I really like this poem .

The dumbing down of america is at its highest peak right now if you ask me. We are being taken advantage of and hoodwinked everday. Sometimes through our own programed behavior. The media and its forms are vultures.

An extremely deep read for a Monday morning. This reads like the awakening of a conscience. bold, deep and very thought provoking, all packaged neatly in crisp lines of strong impacting and powerful words. Nicely done!
