BLEEDING      

           
the greater the joy    
the lesser the pain    
the deeper the need    
the weaker the brain    
the freer the heart    
the fainter the stain    
given  taken    
emptied  fulfilled    
somewhere uncertain    
between hurt and healed    
but still nonetheless    
too often    
it seems    
i tend    
to end up    
repeating    
my same old mistakes    
again and again    
more than    
i ve    
ever succeeded    
at alleviating    
or healing    
their consequential    
resultant hurts                
subconsciously hidden    
potential crippling pain    
which inevitably    
in the    
long run s end
only leaves me    
stuck here yet  
once more again    
for is there    
can there    
or will there ever    
truly be    
any true end  
at all in sight
to humanity s   
historically chronic    
insanity s         
seemingly never ending             
perpetually bleeding trail    
what with humanity itself    
still being  
the self destructive    
dysfunctional species    
it s always been    
and still so overwhelmingly  
is    
one way or another    
consciously  subconsciously    
individually  collectively    
somewhere in between    
however near  
or far beyond    
all graspable measures  
of prediction  
prayers and hopes
we may be  
or already are  
as an increasingly  
metastasizing  
historically cancerous species  
but at this point  
instead  thus far    
not much    
if anything at all  
as of yet   
has arisen  
of significant impact  
nor come forth  
with sufficient vision  
nor applied action enough    
to ever save us    
from ourselves    
nor to turn    
our sinking planet s  
already near sunken ship of fools
of blood thirsty
power hungry
rich  cut throat pirates
and innocent angels around    
enough in time    
which from the looks    
of things today
here in our fallen
rapidly unravelling
unsustainable  dying world
we most likely    
may have already    
completely run out of
our self destructive human specie s
historically undeserved    
ongoing  allotted  
remaining time left here  
to live and exist  
any further  
at all anymore  
upon this    
our still yet sacred  
still oh so  
beautiful  
wondrous  conscious  
living world
