worlds swirling
bodies dying
crying on the outside
inner emotions
boil at the sound
of babies cries
bombs ignited
we've fought for freedom before
clearly lost
a battle evolves
grows larger and more complicated
politics sophisticated
proliferated
by those with wits duller
than you and i?
fighting the good fight
at home
while soldiers continue to roam the homes
of countries unknown where the only contact
with love they have is through the phone
by they still fight
guns blazing
american flags waving in the air
acknowledging a land where the laws
and systems don't listen to the people whose
hopes and dreams
day after day
year after year
they are missing.
as i christen this page
introspective and enraged
in the zone and engaged
i know
that there is more to do
than this.

i remember a time
when you said you were genuine
when you claimed that
no longer would my only venting instrument
be my pen
that you would
listen
through thick and thin
even attempt to mend
some of the pains and hardships
i experience within
but
in the end you left
exited from your commitment
a reflection of your degenerate
nature
unfair you were
when you took your ear away
i cannot easily be swayed
to forgive for this
misfit friendship
to which you lacklusterly commit
i am no longer equipped
to deal with this bullshit
i can only follow your negative lead
and quit.
