Here's to Self-Expression

An ode of the awesome kind. A faculty of poetic nonsense.

"It isn't a REAL party, until somebody dies."

I'm not insane, in fact I'm quite rational.

Who asks who where the passion goes?

In self-defense, that doesn't make sense,

But I know you know I know you, through and through.

Quite a confusing ordeal, but there is my cue.

Please do not have any mercy on me.

Proclaimed genius, insane, and quirky,

I prey on thee.  A prayer of reciprocating feelings.

See?  It was irony that killed me.

In a puddle, in the gutter,

A woman screams as a man utters:

"Good riddance, this boy was a bother".

I had more soul than ANY soldier.

The last statement may not be politically correct.

Neither is my mind, nor yours in fact.

Morals are simply a matter of time,

Oh how they've evolved, the echoes chime.

We are all the same, play the same game.

Life is only a game of chess,

Seeing how long you can last.

Don't want to leave him?  Are you scared to die?

Found in my carpet are weed stems.  Fie, fie, fie...

Chess is a game of logic and mind control. Real life is more like checkers. One wrong move and the game is over. Chess is similar. I believe people take less chances at the game of chess. Complete poem was interesting. Made me think this early morning. A excellent poem.

strong - powerful write - the word plays are great - as are the rhymes - alternating - some internal - some end all twisting around the passion of the words - the sentiments ha indeed maybe not politically correct but pretty true observations unfortunately! nice!

This piece was very insightful and its just the way I like it. Its written with a bit of craziness and a lot of rawness. Just love it. Great work man.
