Circus of discontent

Precious words I'd been looking for
I never seem to find
Slip through the shattered window
The filters of my mind

Stumbling around in the darkness
Like a broken Dinosaur
Tripping on my own indifference
Pinned down by old armor

It never really occurred to me
How far I'd have to go
To pack away my memories
From moments long ago

Looking for the right warm rectum
In a fun house full of sin
A merry go round going nowhere
A new ride to begin

Ferris wheel Zippers go spinning
Rods and gears tumbling down
Wasted on crack w***e drippings
It eats black holes in the ground

Shoveling rock into memory holes
Coping with blighted thoughts
Lured away by a black vagina
The best vice I ever bought

But all of it turned to nothing
I was left all alone
A monument to self absorption
Eating my own tail bone

Now Protected by commitment
I sit up in the bleachers
To watch the circus of discontent
My demon's favorite teacher

Start with What a Flipper of an image.
Ah and what a write. The piece it self breathes and seethes of the discontent found within your closing content. Man this has got to be a favorite of mine by far as your work, and general work of the site. You often get me to laugh or even anger, but oh this time, the thoughts and the mental imagery. The concept attached to picture. Man the feel of an evil circus or big top event. I often find the things we least wish to think of the one's deserving of the most attention, even if only to question why it is the back drop and shadow to every single good willed person. This piece in true artistic fashion is a fun Ideaology within metaphor for me. Can't say I have the skill nor want to critique this, it's pure ART and I love it.
It would be great if I could place it in my library favorites please, Ricochet?

Just saw The Bully piece during my contest submissions, you hadn't entered it but I wish you had. I happened upon it while looking through various related material. I use a slight mathematical system to contest. I think it keeps it fair. Any how I am ever appreciative of you sir.
Sincerely

I entered it in someone's contest. I'm not sure who's. I don't enter contests to much. By the time I notice them they're already over.

Wow. Heavy. This was full of dark heart and the imagery was definitely vivid. Thank you for sharing. This reminded me of a poem I wrote once. Very different in detail but similar in heart.

Mark, shivers run down my spine with this one. It just has a very eerie tone about it and it exudes that frightening prospect of knowing you're in a hole. You've dug yourself, and now you look down at those still being sucked in. That last stanza was absolutely f*****g brilliant, and is by far my favorite and the most impactful in my mind. Outstanding job.

[Baby Ricochet]

thank you will
