Random Poem:

Drunken Souls
Frown

Drugs, hard lust, greed, and such as these.
 1
Will make many lives hard to breathe.
 2
While we continue to contain,
 3
most darkness under the rafters of our brain.
 4
 
 
Remain sober in the minds eye,
 5
or find yourselves with drunken souls, blind.
 6
 
 
Jaded envy the color of jealousy,
 7
is wrapped up in the money machine.
 8
While we stand in between love and hate
 9
time tics by, and begins to create
 10
a rift so large that not even light can escape.
 11
 
 
Don't fake your reality,
 12
or you'll brake real feelings of this mortality,
 13
and find yourself without eternity.
 14
 
 
Bright lights on the eyes may shine.
 15
It's a fools lust this world divine.
 16
Don't pay any attention.
 17
Give no never mind.
 18
just move alone,
 19
and watch for
 20
the faded
 21
line.
 22
 
 
Shine
 23
       Divine
 24
               Attention
 25
                          
 26
                           Mind
 27
 
 
                    Alone
 28
               For
 29
       Faded
 30
Line
