Love of Man

The Love of man is dim by the pain one 
feels at the feet of life's Journey. We cry 
together we lay in a bed of poison and 
skip though land mines to find the rose 
hiding from the sun. I breath in gasoline 
and exhaled fire. For the fumes drove me 
faster then I could ever desire.  Hold me 
O'lord I'm still flesh and bones. I know I'm 
not alone but feel sick with one heart beat 
one sweat on my left cheek smelly from 
the gasoline intake and fear...  man..... I 
thought dying was easier but looking into 
the mirror is harder. Help.
