Short Proxies Poems

Proxies shall forever 
Urge tender embrace 
Of unified skin swatch
Dark-dripping crimson
Draped on commoners...

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end 
It's a choice
To accept 
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer 
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place them by your side
Watch the blurring treeline, shifting away my eyes
I've certainly lied
Proxies for good faith
I've blurred those lines
It's still a choice...

Before I even watched your birth,
I had already failed you first.

Collecting bones in closets damned.
To proxies labor done withstand.

Mistakes go down with Jacks and cokes.
A childhood ends in perished hopes.

The years apart we will to stand.
Regret to always catch the man.

My sorrow carving name in stone,
A Father never dies alone.

Said their Voices from the Graves.

Listen!

As death amplifies the frequency of remembrance

you delve into your faith,

your mind searches for God

and answers.

Unify your sincerity,

and let your questions be herd.

Together!

yours are the voices that will rise

and resonate,

the justice that will adhere,

the love that will mend,

and the prayers that will bring change..

Surely!

God is aware

and you are His proxies.
