Notes About The Poem

Fallen Dancer

Some have fallen
From glazier heights

Some say they have eaten
Olives at heavens gate

Some have never risen at all
down under they stumble knowing not what is tall

Gods laugh at their false pretense
The wise ones know of doomed consequence

The circus makes fools of us all
Clowns dance, when tears only fall

Perceptions fool the masses
Silent ones put on their glasses

Blinded by false comforts
they terrorize with words

I hope one day with all my heart
These villains prey for a virgins start

Let's turn ice into raindrops
Letting harmony and hope run free

Icy princess kills her prince
As the people cry and weep

Let the meek roam free with their flocks
As warriors of words die as angels above do mock

Miracles have come and gone
Nothing left for dead poets to do

Everybody knows
That's how she goes

Pain flows
Death grows
