Meeting by a charmfull seduction, the ignition as a spark to an engine.
Happiness flourished, blending to a family orientation.
Seeing my Cousin,Shaun in a position i never collectively envisaged.
The meeting of Eileen a pivital point, nevertheless needed taming by her.
Two daughters, single mum took to Shaun as a father, he not been in that parental position in his past, caused uncondtional love. I`m not going to sugar coat or lay pillows for the wrong doings, myself was involved amongst burning the candle at both ends.
However, you could say God sent down only something he had for the right path. Involved in an incident of which Shaun is incarcerated, also deeply regrets. A period of self explanitation, knitting the family bond like strength of a lion. It`s almost comical how good can come from bad, if you can see what i can.
Love is the utmost importance of all. Eileen, no medal could succomb you. The time is almost nigh for the gates to open, a debt of gratitude owed. Although a stunning blow the passing of your Father, unspeakably wrenching. I know that love lives amongst your family, that`ll do me.
SAVING GRACE
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends
Burning the candle at both ends
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car
Where small minds, busied and blind
Lost the human race
NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE!
2.4.15: J. Polatnick
Submission: In the Middle of the Universe, I stand
The moons been up all night again
He’s looking rather pale
Been burning the candle at both ends
And now it’s beginning to tell
By the end of the month he will be
A shadow of his former self
It’s only a matter of time
Before people start to click
He’s not just an all night raver
But a total lunatic
He doesn’t seem to care though
Look at him up there
Sipping on the star juice
Totally full of him self
Give him time
His day will come
See if he’s looking on the bright side then.
