“Monopoly - Fast Track Equations”



Razor sharp cut quite clear
He says Trust
She says Fear


Broken glass and hidden things
He says Respect
She says Trust 


Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust


Black Lies and Alibis
He says Truth
She says Respect


Innocence is shattered
All the children wept


Steel Cages, Monopoly and Chance Cards
He says Love
She says Lost


Flying Monkeys and Kangaroo Courts
He says Lost
You say, "Here’s the Road Map, I've got the Get Out Free Card"


You get behind the wheel
Take back your soul
Foot to the floor
Keep driving fast, not slow


Pass “GO”, Do not Look Back.
Girlfriend, little sis'ta, you are right on track.

(Lovejoy-Burton/March 2018)

I hate men who hit women, I have worked with those who suffer from domestic violence, I could tell you so many stories, your poem is a up lifting poem for those who you want to encourage to break free and carry on...

Leanne, your compelling poem is vivid, reminiscent and emotional..Sometimes you have to blow up your life in order to rebuild it, from the ground up. 'You get behind the wheel take back your soul foot to the floor keep driving fast, not slow' - Boy, do I know that feeling. A brilliant write that moves me deeply.. Warmest wishes. ~Susan
