Sky birds drop from flight
As gluttony rises high on stilts
Children fresh from the fight
Fall from the earth as it lazily tilts
Rain dries up like unwept tears
And all escapes the unwritten memory
Even time has escaped conforming to years
Every name reverted back to emory
Peasants sit on a gradeur throne
While kings dream of finding their death
Smoking weed just to end up alone
As cocaine cooks and boils into meth
Smiles morph into one beautiful frown
Frozen heat into ice will remelt
Get in line and wait to drown
Just to remember how breathing felt

Humm this conjures up an image of people walking around with blindfolds on, missing all of the beauty and mystery of the universe. I used to hide in drugs so know how this feels. Your use of language is excellent and your intelligence is apparent. You're an able and talented poet!
Peace Georgia
