Live and Let Live

Framed like a felony fiction Struck out fast like a speed junkie pitcher Falling fast to Earth like a burning meteorite Blazed like a comet in a neverending night With bars on the windows and lightning in the sky I live and let live...I live and let die Wires up to Heaven and wires down to Hell Loose springs and live wires...they all go where they will Some live out their blessings Some die in dark spells When psychopathic phases turn into sad styles of life I live and let live...I live and let die Injecting the poison and bringing the pain Fools and fiends get soaked and scorched in the acid rain Polluting mad minds,spirits,and dreams Still everyone must walk their very own road From the rugged to the smooth From the high to the low Vultures gather where the bodies bloat Like slow motion suicide...Eaten alive I live and let live...I live and let die

A very powerful piece that reads like a tortured soul who has lived through it all and has come out on the other side clinging to what we call life. Just my take on your poem. Life is a challenge at the least of it. Blessings, Connie
