PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a slur of words

the concentrated stare

so vacant

trembling hands

so visibly shaking

without the aid of alcohol

misery in robbed human form

pathetic breath

railroaded

out of a drooling mouth

sleep interrupted

by sacrificial twitches

a magnificent gray pallor

so rumpled and confused

misguided humanity in

slow motion

to think someone's son

lays there in that bed

having allowed his life

to collide with

such a 'Bankrupted Fate'

the concept is almost vulgar

if it were not for

seeming so wasteful...........
