The Web Poetry Corner - Chris Lahren - Punctuate

Punctuate

by

Chris Lahren

It's the secret dying to come out, the burning wishes we construct.
The silence of the world is in our minds, let it out to grow. God knows
you have it, disperse this gravitation in volcanic expansion.
We vote for strangers to go out and spread our concocted
words...burning the crowd against the walls. Remember the iron curtains of
sadness, oppression...the story of falling dominoes. The sand man only
brings our dreams in passion...keep the flames alive.
There before our babies, our message...passed in hope again to move
forward our taunting lies...concocted by strangers in the white houses
covered in vines to keep our eyes from terror.
The terror of it all...faded into omnicolor tainted screens of all
three media giants...our friends. Our friends that control by cameras, the
stories come out again in fiction.
So let it come out again...the freedom of our heart and mouth, what we
thought was right, screaming in the streets in fear. Your heart races and
mouth waters at the thought of such freedom...animalistic and weird. But
somehow we forget it's written on the yellowed paper encased...closed in as
if it's an ancient relic of the past...
We're nice and neat like the language,
stealing from our minds.
