    Allusions of Persecution

    Garbage in, garbage out,
    They don't know what you're talking about.
    Miscommunication - doubt,
    Progress stalled, you fail to tout:

    "I have seen from miles away,
    The senses drawn from day to day,
    Had I not drifted far astray,
    I might stoop with you all to pray."

    While flowing from your lips, you wonder:
    "Can this, my sediment of slumber,
    Besiege, befall, yet sink from under?"
    Clarity shines on faceless blunder.

    And when you stop, and look around,
    And find the followers abound,
    And lead them to the unknown sound,
    Recalcitrant truths, unwary, resound.

    The semantics are surly there. But I find it a little stilted in flow...yet, far superior to many that read smoothly. Nice job

    Counterfit money, I hate that shit but sometimes it spend just as good as the real thing or if you recognize a fake bill just tell them, Yo money ain't no good with me". I love the poem. the first stanza is reminiscent of days of my past.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
