Hammer On My Brain

  There is a jack hammer just outside the window where I sit and read!

It enters into my mind, a red hot poker burning my brain, I feel concrete pain!

It seaks to break apart the concrete of the walk, it succeeds only in breaking apart my heart!

                                    Da, da, da, da, da, da!

 

 On and on it goes, this maniacal wrecking machine, tearing at the fringes of my sanity!

Its; thump, thump, thump is echoing in my head with every strike of the hammer, dead.

It's a bolt of lightning inside my ears, I fear my nerves can take no more of this insanity!

 

                                    Da, da, da, da, da, da!

 

  Please make this stop, please come again another day, perhaps after hours, duh!

They could have began this project of distruction over the weekend!

One could have chosen to take on this charge when the Library was closed!

 

                                    Da, da, da, da, da, da!

 

 Damn I can't, think. I can't read. I can't write. I can't do anything at all, damn it!

Louder and louder this grievance grows, louder and louder the volume goes.

This machine of distruction is disturbing at worst, but alas, no peace it knows!

I liked This hammer blow, who can stand and who shall fall when concrète turns to dust and head aches

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I am with Kenneth on this one........with some rearranging of letters you have a fine piece here.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Despite the misspellings, this is a metaphor for the cacophony of life in general.

Nice work.
