My Ebbing Physical Prowess and Strength Flows Away Ii

At long last... Beatle browed 
Beastie Boys attained Nirvana
routing hellish existential crisis
courtesy Earth, Wind And Fire
rendered null and void celibate Journey
knight in shining armor
forever staind and tarnished
compliments verboten extramarital whoopie.

Herewith I forthwith take poetic license
linkedin to long line 
of Mamas and the Papas
whose music died
when Passenger(s) violently perished
courtesy flaming inferno
analogous to Le(a)d Zeppelin 129
christened Hindenburg.

Along similar blurred lines
foo fighter manned stoned temple pilot
Jefferson Airplane qua Starship
gracefully and slickly
deliberately maneuvered sic
Crash Test Dummies
immediately annihilated upon impact
smack dab into Puddle Of Mudd,
yet lo and behold as a Foreigner
and Survivor yours truly eluded Dire Straits.

Oz suppose during whirlwind Kansas tour,
while snatching forty winks
in toto working out Kinks,
I experienced revelation
regarding divine creator - Egypt me
never securing life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
elusive weltanschauung as understanding,

the mysterious Sphinx,
yes essentially zilch joie de vivre
minus high jinks
aptly summarizes mein kampf methinks
my life and hard times
whereby vitriol pelted me
courtesy those rat finks.

Nihilistic zeitgeist
apocalyptic outlook sacrificed
no redemption no matter
how figuratively purposelessness sliced
unlike mum man crucified Jesus Christ.

You got that right friend.I read what you write and go back later and read them again.The first pass through ,a line will stand out ,and I ponder what it meant to you.As the reader it occurs to me that we See through our own particular lens.Sometimes the lens is rosy and sometimes it's light blocking drapery dark.When you speak of being born a gentle soul in a world that is oft times cruel know that I've been there and no doubt will visit that dreaded plane again. I decided to be as the original design intended. If there are but a few of my peeps,who know when to support and know in the name of friendship when they can tease , in the process of helping me grow I will take quality over quantity.Hope you and the mrs.are hale and hardy.I think I may have broken my own record for run on sentencing.
