Not Living For Applause

black and blue
is this thin line
bureaucratic flu
generation mine
swamp is full
gator infested water
never dull
pay to view the slaughter

sign me up
for the fight
young pup
neither left or right

along for the ride
behind the cause
won�t hide
not living for applause
let violence slide
embrace the flaw
continents divide
not living for applause

updated machine
please fund us
self-centered regime
ignorance a plus
losing the dream
unequal ground
out of steam
cuffed and bound

sign me up
for the fight
young pup
neither left or right

along for the ride
behind the cause
won�t hide
not living for applause
let violence slide
embrace the flaw
continents divide
not living for applause

fresh eyes see
same old cast
forever free
unforgotten past

sign me up
for the fight
young pup
neither left or right

along for the ride
behind the cause
won�t hide
not living for applause
let silence slide
embrace the flaw
continents divide
not living for applause

Brenda.. thank you beautiful one.. your commentary always touches my heart.. and i realize why i do this.. because real poetry, needs to stay real.. i've learned so much from you, you're a muse to me.. in the purist form.. best of all you lead by example, you're in my top 5 greatest poets.. right next to, Jim Morrison.. thank you for being a mentor, and being supportive.. i can never repay you, for the confidence you've given me.. i appreciate the add, and your continued love.. my sister, you've changed my world.. always grateful.. love you!!
