All others died but you just limp,
Contain your ego within realism,
Obsession discards good fame,

For if realism perishes
Death is a rife volcano
That can not vomit.

Hold tight to realism
For when realism dissolves
Death is a land mine
Awaiting to blow....

fierce storm inside

I'm Just Slow

Absolute Truth
Takes F'ing

To figure out.

Yes, and that needs some 
Cleverer
Adjective above.

Insistent Bottlenecks.

Hang on...
I'll get it.

A hypnotist within reason;
Charading as an apostle;
Crooning carefully along
Tablature of the mind.

A realism portrait,
In a landscape, never entered;
Like Moses, and the Promised Land;
A symphony never finished.

Always rehearsed....

Hetty,loved by simple Adam Bede
Yet her heart felt another need
Her head was turned by the fickle squire
With many a' consequence so dire,
Her actions set the village life afire.

I only rhyme things I can see,
Facts irrefutably true
Like the elves in the shade of a lollipop tree,
And fairies of green and blue.

To “civilization” I’m blind:
Cities and factory smoke
Are scenarios out of a lunatic’s mind,
And “progress” and “peace” the last joke....

Draws those of low income and ordinary
And what we never know
Who next on will throw a crushing blow
Attitude between ist's and ism's does vary.

This includes all ism's except realism
and catechism. Jim Horn...
