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.
I wish you well
In your brand hew house
Are the trains very loud?
Questionku Contest Richard Lamoureaux
October 17, 2015
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, 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.
