Structured Ties And Universal Intent

Trying to cure myself of the sin they caused 
I look up from the dream and the screen is paused
And is the thing I believe in all corrupt
Do I get blamed just for questioning love
Coz I don’t want to be the bad guy
But I try and try and try and try
And never see anything but the sky
And the part of me that will not die
And do I just rebel, rebel
Are the disbelievers going to hell
Coz I can’t contain all this pain
I sing my sonnet but I do it in vain
And do I always think I’m right
Telling stories by the firelight
Just to engage and ignite
But some things there are that are out of sight
And I’ve been loyal to what I said to him
That I wouldn’t criticize the din
That sounded when the cymbals clashed
But I let go, now the glass is smashed
And I can’t repair it piece by piece
It’s what happen when the drama cease
And I wonder what I
Will be like in the future if I don’t cry
Out against the crimes I see
Are we just repeating history
And am I myself just as much to blame
When I sink into the walls of my shame
And come out smelling of roses too
I put off something that I meant to you
Until a tomorrow that never comes
But the waves are high and the rush succumbs
And it’s true that the drugs numb
The place that I’m travelling from
Coz I feel a sudden in the air
An offering that isn’t there
And I run out to grasp the hands
That carry the weight of slipping sands
But time won’t wait for a single grain
And fighting it just causes pain
To me, to them, to us, to we
I keep on shouting why don’t you see
But the immortal has been condensed
To something put in the past tense
Or in the future salvation now
I don’t know how to carry it somehow

  1. Powerful and worthwhile poetry dear Laura. I liked the words in the book “The picture of Dorian Gray. ”
    “The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. . . . Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful. It has been said that the great events of the world take place in the brain. It is in the brain, and the brain only, that the great sins of the world take place also.”

      1. You are welcome dear Laura. If you ever need a muse. Read or listen to the book. “The picture of Dorian Gray.” The writer of the book. He lived a amazing life and died too young.
