Invade and be lonely
A sky of three azures, but as sure as you're observed
By a slur of skewered sewers, below looking above
You are wasted and wasting away
From tirades of tricks and trades of travelling
Troupes of troops and soldiers who told you
They fight for their right to invade and be lonely.
They lost their family to friendly fire
With itchy trigger fingers, tripled when frightened
That the war they're waging for minimum wage
Is nothing more than a days paycheck.
Their rhymes are raised and occupy July
Detours via derelict they waste our time.
The bars are filled with people like us
Who flee from the racket and crave Sauvignon
And Harp and Guiness finding hate in goodness
For Singapore Slings, Blancs & solace
But everything is lost on the inside while
Their banners aren't raised because they're out of style.
Some people are so poor that all they have is money
With wallets and pockets packed to the brim
The notes are unformed, a melody of evens
Resolved with rests to reveal that a penny is left
And it always is, the costs are nothing
To people like us, who triple when frightened.

haha help yourself :) Its an honour! We should trade facebooks sometime, It'd be nice to keep in touch but I'm not really on PP as much as I'd like to be. I've to do a performance in college where everyone has to read out a poem and I've chosen to do this one, so I hope its going to go down well! None of them have heard any of my poetry before so I reckon this would be an impressive one to lead on. Unless you have any of my other poems in mind that I could read?

Sleep Driven
I write some of my best poetry half asleep...polit and econ and soc and you must write more. Love the line ~~From tirades of tricks...invade and be lonely~~~you must write, to be sane, like I will never be--too much thinking took it, writing winks at what once was whole, to write is to be - allets.
