Writing, Social Work, Raising Teenagers, National affairs... I've got an opinion on everything and I'm not afraid to rant & rave about it. I also have a quirky sense of humor and I step outside of my box quite often :) Especially when I'm writing.
1. RANT- Uncle David


Pacifist

Like a camouflaged monarch
zipping shut death’s door.
I 'm a scrawny, eager kid still
too shy to kiss a girl.
The grim reaper of 58,000 jerking
my little piece of the American dream.


But,
don’t mind me,
I just used
to bag the dead.

Became everyday for me
to look upon the stale and fallen.
Stagnant expressions upon me
sealing wistful eyes
valiantly with my bare fingers.

Days of closeness
with the plastic fleece of finality
are over.
Been three decades
but my mind still sees the faces...

Every.
Single.
One.

I am still now...
oppressed with regrets
locked away, raving to myself,
for no one understands
the ramblings of savage dreams.

No pity please, someone had to,
lest the bodies would pile high and remind us
of how vulnerable we are to
our spiteful ignorance,

where no one really wins.

But
don’t mind me,
I just used to bag the dead.
