Feeling Blue

Watching death daily, is like watching for the black messy tar/

 to come off your car/ not knowing/ you are driving on it/

the tears in your eyes /pours out/ like a bucket of well water/

your heart/ is racing like / like the horses in the Kentucky Derby/

the souls/  are like muddy water/ 


where is the hope/ can I cope/

watching death/ daily/ and I didn't /see this/ one coming/
