Missive To My Children

Trends mirrored me I wrapped fire in my gut Passed through the cells of light I cut my anchor rope Struggled to realize my dreams I floated above time All is left to me alone - alone The suffering - sleeplessness I swam the opposite of my tragedies I'm a prisoner despite the distress I did not give up my sails to the sea In the memory of my begining I walked in my derby Criticism - heart breaks - suffering I wore them my stories Walkers hated me Lookers spited at me ugliness I held it for years Crossed it to sleep on Hugged it - Hugged it Mortgaged myself Watered all my seeds Although revolution is repeated Yet career has not risen Planes of enemies Tasted the scourge of the earth Civilization denied me Parties divided me Earth hunger revolted it Soul milk satiated it.
