John Freeman Poet Etheree

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”
