Innocence is oblivious to the face of reality..
Shredded in contempt,
Of this judicious process that tears us apart.
Taking the stand for a cause with a trap door,
Fading into the pit of morbid curiosity,
Unable to decide what to do with the next breath,
Overriding our minds,
Taking control of shortcomings,
Only to split them into smaller pieces,
Of that which makes us perfect..
Reaching for nothing,
Wanting for everything,
Taking a bite of pleasure,
Out of a tasteless ingredient,
That will only distort our hearts.
Longing for a white room,
Colored in rich nothingness,
Sitting in silence,
As the roar of life causes deafness,
To one that could never hear.
Blind simplicity,
Rids us of the complicated greed,
That is imbedded in our cortex…
Embodied by nature’s inner core,
Which offers too much to bare,
Falling into this volcano,
A soul free of despair.

PETITION TO STOP THE BAN OF SMOKING IN BARS IN THE UNITED STATES....Anyone?
ISN, yes, it's going on as we speak. One of the few poems I've written about the here and now...rather than the past. This is the first poem I've just written as a stream of consciousness....rather than putting it together.
