A Cluster of Bodies and Bad Metaphors
You in my stride
Hand in hand
Through a forest
Of hanging bodies
We've chosen to ignore
And whom are we to blame?
They muddy the sunlight
But I've not seen the sun
In a year or so it seems
How would I explain
The generations?
It seems to me people
Become less ignorant
Yet exceedingly stupid
With the passing of time
I can't distinguish
Sincerity from sarcasm
Even when I converse
With the mirror
As if that isn't problematic
No matter how it's romanticized
Life, like my poetry
Often seems like a cluster-fuck
I am short on answers and inspiration.

My dear poet friend.. if these are cluster-fuxx then I am a fan. ;)
"You in my stride
Hand in hand" <~~Lovely this, all on its own!
"It seems to me people
Become less ignorant
Yet exceedingly stupid
With the passing of time"
~saddened by the deeper truths of this, but you have penned it well.
Thinkin if people remembered to Care about one another, maybe there wud be more sincerity
than sarcasms out there in this crazy population.
It is, as ever, a pleasure to ponder with you, sweet Sir!
