Short Unsecured Poems

Torrid man has a hateful horrid heart
 of unsacred unsaved unsecured sacrificial Stones Heart porm
 Heart of Stone
 Spirit of stone

Terror unending 
Bliss unendured 
Iron will unbending 
Love unsecured 
If God be willing 
Truth will be found 
In some bird's bright trilling 
In some bell-like sound 
And if walls should crumble 
And towers should fall 
My heart will be found 
Buried under it all...

Listen to poem:

Encore
David J Walker

The Straight-Line life will
find a way to wind
its way in time

Save the savings they say
for a future day 

Save the savings for 
play days and dates in a future
unsecured

I am the today onstage
there will be no encore 
	and therefor

No tomorrow
	No yesterday

Overspending the bulk
  of my temporal capital
 
Hourly deficits climb
  and pile into notes

Debts I’ll never repay
  stored in vaults I can’t find

Words lying uncashed,
  as I write overdrawn  
   
Pledging to go back 
  and re-sign what’s untendered

 I’m unforgiven—overdue,
   my fate unsecured 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)...

Around and around we go
Faster and faster the wheels roll.
Left and right are a blur.
Chasing an end never to come.
Come play the game now.
Don’t you want to be someone?
He's a lawyer she's a thief
Both stealing beyond belief.
Gold and precious are they
What they desire in this play.
Unsure and unsecured their prey
Put your guard up, protect yourself this day...

whether bound and dragged 
behind a pick-up 
‘til limbs slowly dismember
or shackled hand and foot 
then tossed unsecured 
into the back of a rolling 
makeshift coffin

whether judge, jury or executioner 
all don the same hat 
and fancy themselves a God
and your only crime was to exist 
in pigmentation unlike their own

let us not forget our tears
our laughter, our blood 
our date with mortality 
these common threads 
that bind us...
