THROUGH ONE'S UPBRINGING

Folder: 
JOURNAL #9

false is the blame when guilt is wrought from the

flame

remorse is stamped upon every asset even close to that

of fame

eventually each of us will pay with a personal pound

of unmarked flesh

for cruelty is devised under an unwritten law that says

failure equates the having to start over a fresh

simplicity once boiled out of supposed kindness can now

no longer be calculated as risk free

and there is still so much to dream up and toss around

in this mind so like the sea

creativity misunderstood though

still as much as it is

transcends even a genius level of unscrupulous change

it is commonly known that where there is meter,

substance, rhyme and wit there will always be range

range of quiet intention along side eager distrust

range for original invention complicated by loss and

lust

to extend the written word through carefully thought

out self expression

but showering precious havoc upon already mortified

depression...............
