Erase This 1 2

We’re just watching pictures

Of tragedies before us

Playing with color effects

to give them a fresh breath

 

Confined to rooms which don’t see light

History will bore us

Bought & sold for wells of gold

that stink of unjust death

 

as we swim through seas

of future sins

of lives undone

& could-have-beens

Then laid to rest

Upon the stones

Where lines breed lies

& demons rub our bones

 

But no lessons are learned

– The pain of the past

from rejected visions,

unprocessed memories

 

books given to dust

letters wrapped in concrete

So erase this one too

I accept the defeat

 

Just forget I was here

& my heart will not beat

 

N.B.

    “of future sins

    I’ve killed lies in many a way, but this is sheer imagination. I’m convinced that you’re on another level. – Just awesome!

    • you should know how awesome it is being on another level 😀 thanks so much!

  4. If I could pinpoint my favorite lines I would, but I can’t. This poem is simply gold! I’ve always said you were one of the best and this one proves it. Great job!

    • can’t thank you enough for that.. glad to have your support bro 🙂
