Long Go crazy Poems

I
How long have I been doing this
Throwing my time & money
Into a hole
Filling up notebooks
Mining overheard conversation
For lines
Squeezing the sponge
Of my wine soaked
Mind
Into the bucket
Of poetry
And now here we are
Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
Like Romans
Romans

Prisoners of their own success

Their world now micro-sized

Fan adulation to excess

Their love is just disguised

Their objects of affection

Live their lives inside a bubble

Leaving their prison, though it's self imposed

Could bring them worlds of trouble

A truck...

I am grateful to be alive
I got held tight and I feel alright
These trials, I will survive
As soon as I get through this night

Just in case you were wondering,

I left you alone, when I should've not.
Broken and senseless, just like I had felt.

WELL ME AND BOYS WE’RE SITTING AROUND THE FIRE,

WE WERE DRINKING AND LAUGHING AND CUTTING THE FOOL,

then put my body on some hot rocks.
play 2Pac

then spread my ashes across the Black Sea.
My life of sin
will be over
when the train pulls...
