Poem
As I lie here dying Beneath pieces strewn Bits of broken glass My ending life spilling out A scene of black and white and red Through lighted prisms An offer given A different view Newer angles now reveal That, which once was veiled and askew My beliefs of recent I surely thought to be Soulful And in sincerity On a nosebleed soapbox... I made my many judgmental observations Presumptous at everything It was all corrupted anyway This is how I decided... To let my world turn The common man underneath my heel Was never worthy of concern Always, a tunnel vision Peering out... Through suspicious eyes The deception... I played upon myself Half empty glass perceptions This is all I ever chose to find But, soon a punchline As all jokes must come to end Because, those I had refused to love Somehow, still put a claim on me Wanting to make ammends And even more ironic... As eyes the widest ever open But, this time glazed over, while watching My family with auroras Strange and encompassing Of glows, I presume... Seen only by the soon to be unliving My loved ones... I thought were never needed Unselfishly gather near Kneeling and crying... Upon the shard covered concrete As I weep crimson tears All along, they were the innocent victims Of a villian blinded by wealth and greed I could not accept it The fact is... I needed... We all need LOVE And, I became a cold and callous fiend Through the shattered panes The fragments of realization Comes but, way too late That all along... What it was I would not see The glass before me Had always been over flowing And in one last gesture With a hand so cold But yet, warm bathed in blood I leave my final mark Upon this hardened black Asphalt earth A drawn out heart... The universal symbol of love A lasting expression of my worth All thoughts rush free In the last circling of red And, my finger falls As the sound of sirens becomes a silence Among the now, gone and peaceful dead
