Will you comment on this one?

The Flesh of Innocence

In smoke filled rooms

Eyes feed

On the flesh

Of innocence

Wants fuel the imagination

As sanity lingers

Mans putrid need

To satisfy his urges

Create a demand

For taught skin

And callow minds

Fixated, fixated, fixated,

On the dollar signs

Spent, earned, forgiven,

Lost

Forever

In a purple haze

The music stops

As lipstick stains

Mar reality

We look the other way

    You grab the heart and jerk it tightly, this demands a response from anyone who reads it.

    Nicely done.

    I pray I don't look the other way--

    in

    a world

    full of smoke

    eyes hungered

    for peace for long

    wants to fuel there dreams ,where sanity lives.

    Mans

    crazy world

    is thousands of years old

    since the devil made his move

    got proud and screamed out loud

    NO !

    "not

    going to

    let Adam live in peace

    instead of calling god ill make him call the police

    and

    i promised

    to make him say a greedy YES !

    to each and every race with eyes fixated on the dollar sign

    he

    well kill

    for the gold"

    that's

    when i

    was passing by.

    a traveler

    living a lie,

    of eagles peace

    singing along my way

    dollar sign ,dollar sign dollar sign !..

    then

    came the moon ray

    and sat me free

    wait a second !

    can you see ?

    if only you can see what i see?

    if you see the blue pill

    on the dollar bill .

    cant promise heaven

    for you or for me

    yet may be... just maybe.

    you well break free

    face the ilumenated world

    eye to an eye

    unafraid to stand alone

    against an eternal enemy

    and walk along the way

    to peace of heart and mind

    FREEDOM !

    Raise your head !

    End the wars

    and open doors

    give us love and peace instead

    The music stops !

    as blood stains

    a door opens

    i get up and look towards the light

    I like this, and I see there is a line added as well. The repeated "fixated" was a great touch....3rd time is a charm.

    As the comic uses laughter to comment on society so you have used words in such a fashion to paint an emotional & visual image in your poetry. Thank You!

    Blessings!

    slips a five $$ bill into her G string.. buys her a refreshing drink.. and leaves her with her.. silence and all her questions unanswered, unfinished.. untamed ...and with little delight!!
