    off its axis

    my dear friend
    you abide in this realm
    that you have created for yourself
    and you believe that this is a compliment
    to push away from the only existence there is
    because it seems easier to you
    to swallow down these so-called measured fractions
    of comparison between a "credit and faith" establishment
    why it is the life of inventive elements
    that you have come to grow into
    to replace morality's kitchen
    for fear of a silent fear already implemented
    you could never see the logic outside this
    if it hit you in the forehead
    you live on a foundation of holograms
    convincing yourself first to make a habit of it
    but to build a bright future on this
    one would have to float
    or even grow wings
    they too...would have to make-believe it

    Nice work :)

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
