    Hypnotic

    Running in place on the treadmill of life-
    Paying my dues,then paying them twice-
    Is this life?-
    Is this unforeseen madness that of a humble wife?-
    Where is the white picket fence,from whence I dreamed?-
    Do dreams come true,or is it a superficial theme?-
    My heartaches as images flash from my left screen-
    my pen screams as blood flows from the tip-
    Are we really reduced to getting paid by violating our hips?-
    The laws are profound hypocrisy-
    Yet the only one who feels the pain is me-
    In the meantime,I mean time no harm-
    As I stand in line with the others wondering what went wrong-
    Flashing lights bring 808's and Heartbreak ,as I long for the day when I will get my big break-
    Solidarity is a distant throw from the hills I stand upon,better yet it stands on me-
    Pushing it's roots through my feet-
    Coiling it'svenom through my veins-
    Keeping me confined,driving me insane-
    Counting back from 10,I come to again-
    Awakened by the beat of a Lover's Drum-
    His heart in my hands-
    Then slowly we dance-
    We move like feathers floating through time-
    The salesmanship of a dream...is a dish so divine-

    Flashing lights bring 808's and Heartbreak...Nice!! Kanye would be flattered.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
