The Machine
I don't give up
you're not here for me
just these words
they will ring true
it is enough
pointing out as you did
there was no other way and it's true
we get there someway- and- it's true
please now sip- then drink wholly
the moment is now
it is for you, and I'm glad you're here
and that's great- I will be "genuine."
when I fear
it's about love
do I have it or not
do I get it at all
do I understand
I just don't know most of the time.
I would stand
when the shit fell down
right in the way
this kills me inside
those things were done
are happening now
as I'm here with my pen, later my voice
if that seems hard
look at yourself now look towards me
and see me reaching
the machine no longer deserves our rage
passed it by- to remove the ugliness from my view
posted phrases of discontent from peace
as anymore was ever
only part of the ugliness I've tried
I put aside.
Maybe you know
things about me- somethings- for sure
but there is no all
this hurt so much
I took the moment then
and made the day
I didn't cry- hardly noticed myself
then I was angry.

Hey Jere, thanks for the comment on your blog, have been enjoying reading your writing, and will certainly keep dropping by as I have time to read back through what you've written in the past.
That was supposed to be "the comment on my blog"... my head is a little hazy from night duty!
