No Time For Talk

Moments I feel weak I work and work Feel so busy it's hard to speak Everywhere I turn Feels like a block I've got to do, no time for talk But at the end of the day There's an ache in my chest There's so much time I was to invest In better causes but this is where I'm left Broke down by some stooge dressed in an Structure vest I want to beat you so bad, I'll find a way I don't give up that easy, just wont be today There's room in this world for honest business It's what my grandpa believed in, That honorable feeling never goes out of season I'll wake up one day Walls will shatter like glass I'll get up and everything will be in grasp I'll have good workers that get paid well Mothers can allow their kids out of their shell They can raise them at home instead of a daycare Way better than the present which sometimes is more than I can bear.

I suppose I'm drawn to your writing because of the identity I find in your words. You write with a talented pen and mix common sense and artful creativity....... Jake

I am not familair with this form, but have tried to experiment with every new form I find, that is written by poets that I read often. I hadn't visted your work in a while, but saw that one of your poems was a favorite. I like this poem, now I have to investigate the form. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Wayland, for reading my stuff! It's always nice to know it's appreciated :) I'm not really sure there's a form to this, I just write how things come to mind.(I just selected this one because it sounded good) I do like to experiment with new forms, it's very challenging!
