Ley

Ley

Stifled

Confused and stressed
Broke I rest less
Exhausted like the fumes
Of old world manifest
 
Bills and pills
Cycle 24/7
Cries and lies
Like another 9/11
 
Fear and distrust
Sabotage my lust
Alone to age
In dis-eased rage
 
Robotic limb
Programmed mind
Advanced age
I guess nothing new to find

(2014)

Two Emotions

Ten months ago I met the man of m… Magic I’ve dare not believed Never my story, always supporting… But in that moment, the lights cam… Man did I run fast
