The Way Out!

The Way Out!


think not: badly
think not: of this,
loss of purity
mans quest for plastic perfection
Virgins sprawled across centerfolds
(like aztec maidens, sacrificed)
to atone for mans rape of nature
dirty old men, dirty young men
drive the knife with their eyes
through the staple marks
aimed at some third dimension
unfelt by the two-dimensional sacrifice
Prostitutes pounding the pavement
like cops on patrol against innocence
claiming love is for sale (at what price)
while they leave their hearts
in a safety-deposit box at the bank
dirty old boys, dirty young boys
line up to relieve their frustrations
like dogs, defecating in the street
un-felt by the one-dimensional whores
People wandering through their lives
trying just to be remembered
fornicating with invisible mates
so that something will remember
more dirty old infants, dirty young infants
lost to the world of plastic perfections
trapped behind the emotionless facade
ONLY THOSE WHO LOVE FIND A WAY OUT!

The winding down element of this poem is rad. It is clever and I can dig it.

this also brought tears to my eyes,so deep of game that played through out the night,what a human cost. orangepony

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
