the perfect sound of spinning wheelsA Poem by Jay Bailey
oh fellow humans
You mean nothing to me Stand at each end of the room And someone is going to decide That one is better than the other We have walled off all the truth And simple nature of things for ourselves Adapt your surrounding To fit your need Because we are too insecure To adjust ourselves To our surroundings How many times have you heard Someone say They just can't deal with this Stagger from room to room On whatever poison you take Looking for purpose In a society of illusions Find someone who loves you Or at least thinks they know How to love at all Watch the sink hole open up And the city fall in Watch the gunmen pull the mask Over his face as he arms himself Takes aim as he walks passed you And never utter a sound to alert anyone Keep walking at a slow and steady pace As the illusion shatters behind you In a hail of gunfire When you lie to yourself In a myth called society You build your foundation On shoddy bricks When throwing rocks Inside glass houses Aim for the ceiling And do not move an inch As the shards of glass Fall faster towards you And cut you to pieces We deserve all of this pain we are in © 2016 Jay Bailey |
