A Poem (O'Where To Go¿)



I wake up to feel the weight,

The weight of my soul and my heavy mind

falling down onto me as all I deal with completely

Mysterious-

Walking down the sidewalk it curves at the end

and I slink past the corner store to catch a newspaper headline

which reads and tells the story of an economy in peril.

about time i think,

dupe people out of money, bail out corporations,

so where did the billions of dollars go?

let the rich starve and tear down this gap,

no more money let it all go down the hole,

these things mean nothing to me. never brought me

happiness. then again I guess not too

many things have.

the sidewalk curves once more and under the streetlight

crackdealers and naked,

drugged,

ragged people slipping down the road into the dawn.

vicious animals, what happens next?

I saw everything around me come

crashing down, the sidewalk disappeared under my feet.
