Sunken Sandals

Senselessly, you talk
You ramble on...ears do bleed
Listen to the heart stomps

Thoughtlessly, you think
You smell the stench of ancient Dust and sand...it sinks

Into your nostrils 
Suddenly, a change of mind
Buds into forced change 

Consideration
Is what you don't have right now
Gained recognition 

You'll gain back your pride
As long as confidence rules
Get humility!

Good qualities rust
You kicked me into the dust 
Bust good moves - a mist

Stolen sensation
Don't worship vain gods, just Him
Revealed sullen feet

Barefoot to the core
Cats don't have 9 lives, but more
Carve your eyes on trees

Feline fleas bite me,
Sucking up the bitter blood
Innocent, good blood

Not bad boy gone good 
I have done so many wrongs...
~~~Drifting away-ay~~~

Press your paw prints here
Match it up with my sandals,
Sullen like my cheeks 

I turn the other cheek,
Knowing that my bodyquake
Ain't on fleek...fooled geek...

Jerk, nerd, geek, turd, dumb -
Those insults don't mean a thing
Some terms above - smart!

Friends are on a ship
But, it rocks back and forward -
Kicking off sandals,

The waves carry them
Instead of float, they sunk...ah!
The shore is no more 

We transported stuff
From wild sea to reckless sea
We trade and give up 

Barrels of wheat grain
And buckets and buckets of...
Gold that never sinks 

Topics and subjects 
Changed in a blink of an I
Eye still hear my ex,

E-e-Echoing
Through the blasted breeze of please...
Look at these paw prints 

Tend a gorgeous garden...
You're observing these details;
At last, seeing truth !
