I Thought~ I Fear

I thought...
I'd confronted the stores of my fears
  my many imperfections
I'm the one who's witnessed my life
  encountered the words of anguish
 I've been on the wrong side so many times
   shaped by the sea's unambiguous emptiness
    being forgotten about
  unprepared for the difficult times
savaged by the reapers fortune cookie despair

   I see all the indifference
  what's worse seeing or feeling? 
  
     Sometimes I feel like
     a guinea pig in secret
  lost in the chaos of the wind                 
         once more I resist...      
     terrified with the price of tomorrow
        where nobody's safe
            
      After this work and...
           wrapping up this poet's intentions
       shaken by life's so many fabrications
        I'm growing weaker
   sooner or later perhaps blown away...
        if the television announces
    an earth quake off Sumatra
      shaped by the world's painful stares
     
I want to scream and shout...
       "God make it all go away,
   as far away as possible,
  between all this hurt and nastiness"

I begin with the unsolved crimes...      
  and wonder why kids no longer
  play basketball in the street.
    Again I whisper...
 "God make it go away"

I'm melancholy ...
 as I assess the hurt of people and life       
       everything is slipping away

      God, please don't turn your back on me...
           and on all of us

right there says it all... I remember the carefree days of playing outside endlessly... now a days it is rare to see kids playing outdoors... look around on Christmas morning, the streets are empty, shoot we would be out with our mew toys playing with friends. A lot has to do with the sickness of people growing, but some has to do with how computer games have made our kids lazy.
