George Lawson Poet I do not know?

Babel

you can't see
what my eyes see
as hopeless
as these broken dreams
now it comes to me
sadistically 
like a never ending
travesty...

I'll pay the price
a thousand times
and still do as I please

sanity's never
thinking twice
malady
always knows your vice
so vanity never leaves


her emptiness
a vital key
to a hopeless state of mind

exposing 
every fault in me
imposing
its commodity
and you know
its just how going to be
itching on down the line

you know
there is no
stopping me
screwing up
constantly
but it's not
how I wanna be...

TIME! after TIME! after TIME!

I'll live an eternity
in constant adversity
it comes to me naturally
it's not like I try to be
and now
ANIMOSITY'S

MINE! All MINE!

invading all your privacy
I always fall from grace
and now I'm talking hell of it
right up in your face...
So how do you like me now?

I'm living' up
to what you say
staying up…all night and day
chasing all your dreams away
dragging your ass straight down

but it's 
starting
to get to me

the misery
ecstasy

the agony
irony
consumed
by insanity
a calamity
vanity
What more can I say?

it's all just been
a pack of lies
the American dream... never alive

in passing
maybe
once or twice
the more
it makes you
fantasize
maybe a glimpse of me

the wings
can free
your broken dreams
and keep these lies inside

do you really know
what all this means?
on the wing
of a broken dream...

as HYPOCRISY denies

now it's constantly
mocking' me
performing Lobotomies
adultery and sodomy...

then walking away

an now it has
the audacity
wanting to 
"Rapture" me
beyond my capacity
all broken dreams

just a passing phase


the words are
Intoxicating
Vibrant
Exhilarating
the results
always devastating

and I never change...





this just a little rant I 
wrote  about 20 years ago
(minus all the F bombs)
and why you don't drugs
it's total insanity
