house arrest

Post by Lightning Rod » December 20th, 2008, 12:26 am

house arrest

No prison can hold me
but ones of my own erection
I invent all boundaries
and agree to them

too bad that Marx was an economist
knew nothing of human nature
but he had a good heart called communism

it's an imperfect thing like my prison
which I created out of mercy and good intentions
too bad Marx was an economist and not a saint

the sentence is three score and ten
whether it's communism or zen
construct your own prison
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

I think that was a nicely constructed prison
but what the hell would I know about poetry.
