Long Isn Poems

I
How long have I been doing this

Filling up notebooks
Mining overheard conversation

Squeezing the sponge
Of my wine soaked
Mind
Into the bucket

Is anyone trying to feel for anyone?
Does anyone feel for anything anymore?
There are...

If inferno flames are melting your spirit. 
Causing gapping wounds of disappointments developing infections. 
Pus oozing oppression, odor of deception. 
Swathed in agony dressings. 

 If you’ve been cloaked in sheets bearing the logo of...

Is a person just man, woman or child?
Is not each person a costly treasure?
Should definition of person so mild?
Should not it exceed the common measure?
Person is living-human, could I say?

Too young to be so old,a child of five,
Yet a man so old, a childhood gone.

I feel his fear in the tears upon his cheeks,
When he reaches...

But We’re still here to fight the war 
All these soldiers fighting and they 
Don’t know who they’re gunning for

And the killings indiscriminate 
Shooting at civilians 
Laughing as they...

your heart covered in scars.
And all the secrets that you kept,
in those tightly shut jars.
 
I heard you take a deep breath in,
and then you turned and smiled.
But I knew it...
