The Backwards Man

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

The backwards man can
Go backwards fast as you can
This isn't a scene by Tom Green
Not a film on the TV screen
As real as it gets
So sick of the fake politics and false prophets
Stuffing their faces with baguettes and making broken promises
Will things soon get better or stay on the path of being worse?
All is going in reverse like a pre-written curse

    I saw a guy walking backwards with two bags of shopping - true. erm, was he practising for The Annual Walking Backwards marathon? lol.

    Reverse is the nice way of describing it. I like this piece my friend.

    progression as our sainted regression
    devouring the new, as we implode
    cursed for dismissing, what we knew
    armies for space missions
    while blowing ourselves up, diving
    for history's titanic wreckages..
    as if the summer heat wasn't bad enough
    Europe burns, because of a fck'd up
    cop
    still, a new election
    and all will be ok for a few days
    right!
    yeah, if my words sound hollow
    it's because I checked out
    of hoping for humanity's salvation
    a long time ago
    now I just lament, like adding branches
    to a a guy fawkes bonfire in July
    and feeling like it's a better fit
    than those 4th of july fireworks
