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

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.”
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.
