Secret defiance! I found a spark of life…
\nSeditionist verse, hidden between concrete cracks,
\nAnd decorated by shards of broken glass.
\nIn solitude, a flower considered a way to grow.
\nAs a colorful impostor, occupying the corner of Gray Grove.
\n“Progress makes strangers of us all.” I told it,
\nAs the stop-light declared it time to go.<\/p>\n
Smuggled truth! I found a fragment of wisdom…
\nPoor righteousness, hung beneath fluorescent flickers, sighting a selection of vandalism.
\nIn solitude, a poet considered a revelation and left it’s blueprints in obvious indignation
\nAs a crumbling movement brushed across the grains of a forgotten wall
\n“Even though I dread, I choose to live free of regret.” I commented, a stranger to it all
\nAs the No-Loitering sign reminded me to go.<\/p>\n
Tired eyes! I found reason for resign
\nSuffocating in strife, begging for change and table scraps of life
\nBeside the old church holding out a paper cup
\nTo believers and saints passing him by
\nBut God’s grace moves in strange ways, they had already given their tithe
\nSo he waits, a fading dream the living rather not see
\nAs hope is the mother of misery, it’s hard to find reason not to give up the fight
\n“Suicide is for those too smart for life.” I stopped and thought.<\/p>\n
Yesterday’s horrors fill tomorrows with dread
\nSome call it a beautiful struggle, others don’t live to see the end
\nI’ll be honest, to me, no one is a friend
\nCondemned to fruitlessly toil and dream, if this is life I have no desire to be…<\/p>\n
But one thing I do know for certain,
\nOne thing I came to see;
\nIf you have razor blade scars
\nKeep those close to your heart
\nBecause life’s not worth dying for…
\nSo as master of my fate
\nAnd captain of my soul
\nI bow now, and confess it time to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
