Plastic Corruption

Another late night-
spent editing the lines
that only serve
to distract you.

What really makes a poem?
is it interest?
flow?
stanza breaks? I'll never understand...
just what you mean to me.

Camo style armbands; thumb holes ripped
so they don't bunch at the wrists.
Flashing rings: tainted silver,
smoke that was never really there to begin with.
Is this all I am to you?
It's too late to go back. To flirting.
With life, danger,
me.
Why would you want to?

Poisoned waterfalls-
plastic corruption.
So this is what it all comes down to.

You and me.
Man and machine.
Broken world, striving for "peace".
In reality,
In'N'Out.

Who's got the bigger guns daddy?
Do you care daddy?
Why do you care, daddy?


I guess....
it's the beginning of the end.
Music to make the man.
Is this all I have to look forward to?
Smell the weed.... it's over.



Just wait 'til we hit rock bottom.
