Past atrocities circle a venomous brain
Where forked lightning rips holes in the sheets for the rain
To wash over without drowning out any pain
From a life falling short of the hype
Combing through the fine print for a loophole or clause
Grasping hands hanging on to the shortest of straws
Breaking anciently righteous morality laws
Another clean slate takes a swipe
In a world full of colour I'm still black and white
Swallowed up by the shadowy dancers at night
Two wrongs won't do the job three lefts should make it right
Slippers on smoking hash from a pipe
Off the pace
In the race
For the space
To disgrace
Bubble burst
Do your worst
No more trust
Is a must
Helping hand
Firm stand
No demand
To expand

Too cool to bother with ‘too much’ I presume! Yet you took your time with this one and created a colorful canvas. I always say the art needs to stand out more than the artist…
I agree whole heartedly
And do hope that is the case here
I appreciate the input very much
Thank you
The mind can be our worst enemy!
and sometimes nothing even comes close to slowing the circles it takes us in.. just to make it stop..for a moment..
'For the space
To disgrace'
If only we could do our 'ugly' in the dark. Most times we do, yet we feel it is seen as if painted on our faces.
This one feels like a letting go of sorts.
Great write!
Never stops sage
Do our ugly in the dark
Magic
As for it being seen it's always obvious on.my boat
Some though have more faces than the town clock
Always delighted to see you here
Many thanks
