Senseless Prose and Meaningless Rhyme

Senseless prose and Meaningless Rhyme

I find myself dreaming
In poetic phrases
Dark hours of unconsciousness
Filled with senseless prose and
Meaningless rhyme

Standing 3 rungs up
On Jacobs ladder
Feet firmly gripping
Sweaty rungs of
Self pity I stare at the
World and refuse to enter

Suicidal snakes above and below
Feeling trapped while
Death smiles in the sorrow
Of a lovers tear filled eyes

Battle hymns echo off
Walls of sorrow as
We march into a war of peace

Disinformation junkies
Masturbate on a dead world
Spreading seeds of terror on
The fertile ground of dead
Wounded love
