Little Pieces ~ Little Hopes
Each little piece
dancing before me
out of place, rearranged,
spinning
like so many faceted tear drops
catching the rays of the sun
that never breaks through to shine on my heart
I feel...with every ounce of my being
every pain shared
is it any wonder I've been left fragmented
the sick
the hungry
the dying
taking up so much space
where is the room for love
when atrocities of our own making
weight down our soul
Shift now
consciousness distorted
a chemical cocktail
to stop the spinning
winning?
It was never about winning
I could care less where the pieces fit
as long as they fit
I could care less how fast they get put back together
as long as I can cling to the faith that it will happen...
Broken...perhaps
fixable...maybe
Lovable?
Christ...I hope so.
They told me that's why I'm here....
To love
to be loved
They told me that's why we're all here
and that makes me wonder
if THEY weren't like the others
telling me what I want to hear
in hopes I'll join the army
march with the masses
and forget the truth
I was born with.
Broken...perhaps
fixable...of course
lovable?
More than this world can handle.
It's OpenLinkNight over at dVersePoets...and guess who gets to host the party? Got my Misfits apron on and I am so ready to rock this out...it's been a long week! Doors open at 3pmEST...I'll be waiting!
For you poets that record your work...I'd like to extend the opportunity to visit The Nexus Cafe...Roger Allen Baut and I spend every Thursday evening over on blogtalk radio, sharing poetry, music and conversation on what an effed up world we're living in...big love for those who have already visited and allowed us to pick their brains through interviews and conversation...let me know if YOU want to play along!
For those of you who perform, have a band or know of one looking for exposure and airplay...I'm headhunting for neueregelradio.com We're streaming to a global audience of 50,000 listeners and growing by the second. Check us out..and listen in NeueRegelRadio Always happy for bread crumbs leading to acts who may need some help on the exposure side of things...and between you and me...I don't think I'm that hard to find...hit me up if you've got a song to sing!
Okay...I'm out!

when atrocities of our own making
weight down our soul...there was the lynch pin for me in this one tash...is love just a sold illusion to keep us in line? i hope not...i think love can win....if we let it...we're all broken, busted on some level...but not all make it...

"a chemical cocktail
to stop the spinning
winning?"
is the best antidote humanity can offer? I really hope that's not the best antidote available.

They told me that's why we're all here."
I believe it...most of the time! I think we all (including the world in general)has its broken times; but we have to believe that individuals and 'the world' is fixable!

^^^LOVE THIS and the lines of being being broken, but fixable.

Broken comes due
Been there this past year
Broke from head to toe to rear
Sucks in every way
But life goes on to the next day

fixable...of course
lovable?
Of course, we are humans born with hope. That's the wings that carry us across the chasms of despair.
