Thoughts In General

By Doc

This feels a lot like writing through a strainer,
The words pour forth,
As if being dropped out of a glass,
And is filtered and ripped apart,
As if blended from the start.

It is hard to look at the world and see it as great.
With the wars, the oppression, the telemarketers
Constantly hounding at you,
Begging for your change,
I am starting to believe they misunderstand the meaning of the word.

Change.
It is not a thing to be thrown around lightly.
It is as new, and strange, and as fundamental as Jesus.
However, this one will have less wine.

Yet as useful as Wine and jesus are,
There still exists that block.
That mountain in your face,
Daring you to test it's patients.

I always thought, "That's why God build the bomb."

So there it lay,
The last of a once great mountain,
Destroyed for the sake of artistic brilliance.
Oddly enough, I fail to see the light.
Perhaps, I am not looking in the right place.
Perhaps I do not posses the brilliance to see it.
Or perhaps I need a little more Vodka to convince me I know anything.
Well, "refill" has always been such a wonderful word.

    you live! it's nice to read your ponderings again...and such sequential reflective thoughts leading to its target with each stanza, the artful critique of modernism swirled nonchalantly to the depths of a drink...alone. like fixing the flaws of a wretched world would be as futile as rectifying oneself. dark poetry. =] -=AK=-

    good piece. Seinfeld said, 'I don't have time now, give me your home #, I'll call you later." telemarketer said, 'I don't like to be called at home.' Seinfeld said.'now you know how I feel'...
