You were a RoseYou were a rose, so full and fair,
Your petals soft, your beauty rare.

or you won’t be there

that drifts in foul air
Not that art matters, if any survives, they
will be busy finding food and shelter

On my ownYou were born too old
it was always too late

All comes backBright sunshine is darkness hidden
One moment revel and play
Until sun no more sees fun

Choosing A Genuine LeaderChoosing a genuine leader
Is a dauntingly difficult task
To constitutionally ask
Uninformed voters
To vote their conscience.

And natural common sense.
That too many followers lack

This isn't meTickle of rain drop
Touch my numb body
Whispering slowly
Are you really unhappy
With today's reality

Wind slowly passed
Near my ear
Laughing wildly...

Swear-to-GoodnessI make you tragic
Stir the dormant conscience in your gut
Until you're sick with how you hate yourself
And ashamed because you should
Even as your feet defy the exhortation
That if guilt could make you will
You would

O BrutusO familiar stranger tormenting my mind,
Why do you hide behind the veils?
Why did you act so apathic when you stood in my presence ?
Why do you strike me from behind as a vermin?
