The Web Poetry Corner - Wesley A. Storer - O City of Ceaseless Roaring

O City of Ceaseless Roaring

by

Wesley A. Storer

O CITY OF CEASELESS ROARING
WHEN DEATH YOUR LIFE DID CLAIM
I MARVELLED AMAZED
HOW WELL DEATH KNEW YOUR NAME
COULD IT BE OH CEASELESS CITY
ATTRACTING WRONG KINDS OF ATTENTION
THAT BAD PASSIONS PUT AN END TO YOU
YOU NEVER LOST YOUR INCONSOLABLE GAINS
(You never found them to begin with)
FOR TO YOURSELF YOU LIVED ALONE
SOME PIECES OF LOVE YOU BORROWED
A PENCHANT FOR BEING PROMISCUOUS
DISLOYAL DISHONORABLE AND TREACHEROUS
ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOU TRIED YOUR BEST
BUT YOU MUST LEAVE LIKE ALL THE REST
THE INDIFFERENCE THAT TOOK MY PEACE
LONLINESS NAWING MARRING MY SLEEP
POLICE AND FIRE ENGINE SIRENS HOT RODS
THERE WAS A FLAW IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL THINGS
THE TRAGEDY OF LIFE THE INNOCENT MUST PAY
YOUR WICKED MEN ENSLAVED THE POOR AND MEEK
TO KEEP THEIR BEAUTIFUL WIVES FIT AND SLEEK
THEIR BEAUTY UNFAIRLY JUSTIFING YOUR RAT RACE
(signed) the last beatnik

NEXT?
Why don't you look at My love for you
