Visions of Jordon

Whats a child to do in town that hasn't a clue

of what to make of these common mistakes

and has a hard time dividing whats false and true

perhaps a "Mac-job" will summon the beast

that tempts the child to sacrifice the feast

in which all his hard work will abandon the table

in search of others who are willing and able

to commit and submit to slave-wage salvation

to distant the dream of Floridian vacations

so instead play the hand, you foolish young man

dont forget to leave your finger prints

retire to the coast, did you remember to boast

of your new life in the letters you sent

"come one ,come all..i'm having a ball

,does my daughter speak often of me

the only father she'll know, is in a faded photo

and isn't welfare such a luxury?"

Such a foolish foolish boy

you've surrendered your toys

let your name slip into the station

now they'll have your head, or your freedom instead

a second chance at an incarcirated education

and how do you plan to survive in a place

where Darwinistic views are the extreme

no more a faded photo will your daughter know you though

but instead as a plate glass dream

i really like this one. it makes me want to run far away and have my feet setting off into a tiny sea at dusk.
thank you for letting me read your writings
they are beautiful.
