"Fits the Need"
All people want
is a stable house
a place to call their "safe" home
to "LIVE"
outside of all cages -
free
live life
how "we"
were meant to feel
to have no hell
continually raising chaos
in this very very small life we lead
yet we crumble
like the fall of Rome
monotonously, perpetually
All people want
is a future free
of social denigration and disability
and love...
what of love?
for you and me?
we all need love
even those underground
by those above, never seen
treated like hounds
with fleas
ridiculous and unsound
we all need love
this is implanted in us
more religious, than any creed
to light our hearts
and fill our smiles with
unbiased generosity
imagine that
a life with no love,
without a you and me
isolation
an endless aching
untreated cavity
humanity is reaching out
for humanity
but fear and greed
hard hearted,
reigns scaly and
suffocating supreme
if you were me
and I were you
what would we fully understand?
and see?
if I were you
and you were me?
we sometimes look
and feel the need
to assist and free the lesser "we"
most of the time
though,
if truth be real,
we'd save ourselves first
before the unwanted
unnecessary "we"
we abruptly turn the other cheek
well outside of what we thought
we could and smudge it all out
the life we promised
to write and live to reciprocate
on our cornucopia roundabout
all those new
better lessons learned
in that contract
impressed upon us
in that previous time
groundhog vainglorious
where we all agreed
to sing and spin
the sunny group soul chat
better them
than
me, "we" think
I wonder
how poetry
fits the need
with all its
gilded love and beauty
winning awards
sadness in reality
tomed tongue in cheek
lacking any true credibility

"It’s a terrible shame
And the grass is always green
Get it while you can
Or get sad and then get mean
I’m stuck in a rut, in a flatland drainage ditch
And I’m drowning
In irrelevance..."
