PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

dreams can so often alter the truth

we find in our every day reality

the answers we seek out in our finely formed

fantasies

are in the minds of the small thinkers

a mere formality

the death of future dreams precludes our emotional

fatality

and we'll be left barely able to

stand with little or no mentionable vitality

how does man let himself be lowered to the level

of this

to a form of death without really dying

a hug without a pre functionary kiss

out of all that we have and will lose

its our pride and sense of true self

we'll most likely miss

I repeatedly question the choices at hand and ask

can we be saved from such an empty yet strangling

abyss

to save that left of the near lost

its not only mine but your help I enlist

to yesterday engage

so many years have passed yet we're still hounded

by not only ours but our for fathers' fear and rage

so war is one emotional set back we must soon again

wage

for we have to out smart the immortal locks on

inner peace and pride

if we wish to get out of this life's set cage......
