Design obscures Divine
Railroaded by a petulant narrative
Observe the perfection of a creation undone
Injection deserving celebration by the hallowed of darkness
On every point, a bug defeats the Purpose
Which by design the chemistry assigned precludes
Swept into the dustbin, the democide announced
A swale released among the animals, least man
With diversity and inclusion reigns equality of suffering
Assured by those WHO careless whisper
While the fate of a generation hangs on the damper

Why is much or most of the time the only pink slips I receive are not the type I like or want. If you catch my drift.

Railroaded

I wish you well
In your brand hew house
Are the trains very loud?

Is that the sound of a train whistling
Or, the sound of my heart a pumping

As I espy you waiting on the platform
I wonder if you’re the vision of reform

En route to San Diego and looking fine   
Rolling in motion on track twenty nine

Railroaded with me, our steamy desires   
Threaten to drag this trolley through fire

Are you real?  Can I touch? Just one hug    
While the train steams away chug a chug
 
Let’s make love, while we rock the caboose 
Two hearts, one great start, oh great Zeus!

We’ve arrived in great shape, so let us stay 
Together molded as the potter and his clay

liam and mystic

Railroaded

Railroaded, we were

Becoming everything we

Hated about life


We had traded our

Dream catchers and dirty feet

For certificates


We didn’t even

Want, for friends we don’t like

And heels we can’t walk in.
