Volatile Thoughts

a poem about watching life go by

I am pretty, but I am vulgar

I love a mystery, a pretty rhyme

Watching girls flutter by one at a time

I wish I could wear those nice clothes

Have a smaller nose

but instead i sink into my thoughts

And watch the guilty vome out of the courts

follow on down...

 

Studded and plugged in

none of you understand my enigma

I'm not satisfied with re-runs

don't put me on repeat

The beat that's shaking these kids around

aint shakin my ground

what's it there for?...

 

The bus driver chats to the strange girl

she talks and rambles on

He's making us sick with the buses every twirl

they are lovers like you see in song

nobody ever told me people have problems

Normality is the issue.... maybe i'm wrong...

 

I paint the house red

For all the dead

It's  8 in the morning and I am yawning

been up since 5

It feels crap to be alive

Get in my car

go afar .. go afar...

 

Modern Times, Modern Problems

The Church chimes in once again

to say hey dear we're your only friends

Goodbye city of glory

May you continue on with your story.

this is very good i love the movement from one topic to another! good write!

It doesn't focuses on one topic, but life isn't one topic
in itself anyways.
I always enjoy reading poems about life,
it always seems to take on some type of objective viewpoint.

My favorite part was :

It's 8 in the morning and I am yawning
been up since 5
It feels crap to be alive

Who hasn't felt like that, excellent and easy to relate to.
The part about the church made me grin,
because it is rather true.
Excellent piece, I liked it =].
