"I Am Not Here"
Forgotten embers
Of a forgotten time
I no longer exist
Only In rhyme
Sometimes.
I exist in memory
Thoughts and ideas
Feelings if necessary ,
Loathing and fear,
Where the faultlines fit
And the earth's plate sit
I was secretly observing
Not that you would
Ever know it.
I watched War & famine
A World starved in hunger
The suffering of children
Adults who wished
They were younger
A planet raveged
By immature idiots
Pressing red buttons
And supplying guns
Mothers broken and weeping
Because they lost there sons.
We sold our souls
To the ticket trader
It's time to kiss our karma
And meet our maker.
But not I
I was never here,
I am a aperition
Of what could of been,
I am a scrapbook
Of the things I've seen
I represent hope
But you choose
To sweat in fear
I am done,
finito
I bid you farewell
I am not here!!
