I poem inspired by the events happening in my life at the time and Bob Dylan's lyrics hench the title. it started off as a merge between myself and another poet friend of mine but he was unable to finish it so I reworded is parts and claimed it as my own.

All reviews and ratings welcome.


My hands are rested,

My palms are starving,

If I wasn’t so privileged

I’d search through garbage,

For a small sense

Of independent though it,

Wouldn’t make little difference

To what I thought and saw,

 

Myself on the street,

I thought of the man I want to meet

And how we'd talk about nothing

Till we're off the street and back on our feet

Making our way from hell to earth

Our bodies broken and full of dirt,

 

Lucky my mind is still where it should be

In my head and not in my pants,

Yet when I saw her I knew we had to dance

With the jester looking on, he hatched a plan

To break my new found love with devils words

And imitations of love.

 

Alas my lover was too young

The jester confused her with his tongue

Till everything she felt for me was numb.

 

She left me and my world was spun

I thought my life was over, done.

Until my brothers made me have some fun

And my life took, flight my mission done.

The last concertos sung, my voice has rung,

Through the bellows of hell right up to the chelas of the sun,

If I am guilty of ignorance,

Reward me with violence,

If I have ever offended,

My apologies are silent.
