oozing out of my collapsing veins
I did nothing
, but watched– in silence
Running wild
my persona
drifted into thin air
tied itself to a black hole
and never returned…
drifting
further away
into oblivion
my identity
with its bags near the door
never said goodbye
— I never muttered a word
just heard the door slam
and
the tires take off
leaving me in the smoke
with a wounded heart
inhaling dangerous ideas
hand me down
smoke
deadly
icy asphalt
was to blame for slippery morals
sliding further out of reach
seemingly impossible to catch
capturing them
an olympic competition
keeping them
noble prize worthy achievement
I’ve had more than once before
and they shall return to me again
Now, just a rough patch
dry spell
no intimacy
just impotence
incompetence
you absence
is potent
need a clearance
for grievance
practice patience
because i will seek vengeance
i expect penance
because they took everything
you said nothing
so as they raped our motherland
as they violated your mother
made our backs bleed
you bore the burden
505 years later
you are the burden
still dancing to the tune of gunfire
still violating your mother
now beating the concrete of the jungle
silently committing suicide.
