Dances with Deception
by J. McCurdy
In the end §
We’re all responsible
For the
Lies we live in
Not one of us
Deserve
The noose our own fears begin
Gotta let go
Of dogmas own
Shotgun sin
Gotta let go
Of when
Gotta quit
Feeding into
Negativities whirling dervish dance
The truth is
You were
;
Never my savior
And
I was
Never your sin
One Day
by Nicole V.
"
.
One day I was walking to especially escape
The universe played along
Unfolding as mile of road
In a babble of fog
Except where I walked
No matter how far
The road kept going I felt
Truly this is The Edge of the planet of my reality
If I keep going I will freeze to death
But nothing except nightfriares ,
Far behind my steps '
And then I reached T he End *
At the edge of Something Left and Nothing More
Is a white unmarked van
With lights blinking orange in fog air
My guess is that one has choices.
At that moment: ’
Walk past the guard
And know, frozen, is all to be
Or walk back into hell
And warm up all the people
Because Either Way is cold
And I’d rather have a soul
Then discover the world is hot infinite
And far too small to contain ieven All
Proper Nautical Ending
