Back at ya...

Life Was

Year after year
ever wanting more

scattered about upon the earth
in the days of yore
by the seasons
were the planting
the harvest
and the stores.

Month after month
ever wanting more

to the cities flocked they
in the nineteen ought
build it up
for security
pay a little
get a lot.

Week after week
ever wanting more

generation succeeds generation
the next greater than the last
from peace
cometh prosperity
and a party
when seven have past.

Day after day
ever wanting more

mother's belly swells with excess
as her children are enslaved
in the alleys
of desolate places
battling
filling graves.

Life after life
ever wanting more

Nakia 10/98

Funny, the span of my years,
Rolling along without me;
Don't look back,

So cold the heart
And madness in the head,
Lost imaginations cry;

Though, I brush them aside
Polite, I try to be;
Loneliness the place to hide,

She, her, and she too,
So very, very far away
Staring, yet it has to be,

Heard the news just yesterday
Bound by love they say,
Fast coming was number three...

Reduced to just a memory,
Gone away she is with him,
Probably never see again,

Sunshine, how bright you are
Thank you for your warmth today
Take me with you when you leave,

good-bye.
