Anthony Beesley Poet Blank verse

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

Connie Marcum Wong January 1, 2015 at 1:14 AM 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
