Touch Me-Sleep
By John Moses Freeman, Sorry Nette, I don't have means
of centering the poem on my post page.."Disparity"
~Cloud
my dreams
on serpent
chain links create
feelings of a time
when my backbone was mine
I dream of another time
when the world was really mine
the lack of food has weaken my mind
dream gift concludes, serpent chain links protrude
~
~Reality, a dream’s fatality
wickedly the fate syndrome sets in
world of the rich concepts’ excuse
unemployed, beaten, flat broke
signs and times have spoken
my children await
starvation’s fate
no escape
fate’s soul
mate!!
For and in Honor of Nette Oncloud
And her first Contest:
“Touch me, count up and down”
