    THIS IS REALITY

    I LAY THERE DORMANT,

    IN A VIOLENT DREAM,

    CHAOS IS KING,

    IN A LAND WHERE RAPIST,

    AND KILLERS ROAM FREE,

    BABIES BORN SLAVES,

    TO A CHEMICAL,

    INOCENT OF THEIR TOUCH,

    HUSH…

    AND JUST LISTEN TO THE CRIES,

    IN A WORLD FULL OF LIES,

    MOTHER NATURE WEEPS,

    UPON DEAF EARS,

    WE RATHER RUN,

    THAN TO FACE FEARS,

    HEROES MARCH TO THEIR DEATHS,

    AS THE GOVERNMENT PLAYS CHESS,

    WE BECOME PAWNS,

    ASK QUESTIONS,

    AFTER WEAPONS ARE DRAWN,

    BULLETS FIRED,

    ALMOST EVERY HOME,

    IS NOW BROKEN,

    YOU ONLY GET ONE TOKEN,

    TO PLAY THIS GAME OF LIFE,

    WORDS CAN SOMETIMES,

    CUT DEEPER THAN A KNIFE,

    ROLE MODELS,

    KEEP GOING TO PRISON,

    LISTEN,

    IT’S 60 DEGREES,

    IN THIS COLD WINTER SEASON,

    TOO WRAPED UP,

    TO SEE WE’RE FUCKED UP,

    I TRY TO WAKE UP,

    FROM THIS TERRIBLE DREAM,

    I JUST WANNA SCREAM,

    CUZ I REALIZE,

    THIS IS REALITY,

    SOONER OR LATER,

    EVERYTHING DIES,

    TOO HARD TO JUSTIFY,

    SO LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD,

    I CLOSE MY EYES,

    DAMN….

    You have amazing and taxing insight. I feel you, honestly. Empathy is a hard thing to own, but its a harder thing to rid yourself of...so I look at it as a gift and realize the only thing I can do is pick and chose my battles, change things I can change and leave the rest to the powers that be. Focus is a key...focus on some things you can change and things that are good in the world. Peace. Excellent poem as always.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
