J. Alfred Rocks--An Homage

Post by Lightning Rod » December 13th, 2007, 1:01 am

J. Alfred Rocks

In the room the poets come and go
Talking of Maya Angelo

yes, there will come a time
but that time is here
our globe on the rotisserie baking
we hope against hope
we fear what we fear

In the room the old hippies come and go
Talking of San Francisco

the time has come and maybe past
for clever image and keen contrast
for clinging to our youth, our last
fond memory is fading fast

In the room the cowboys come and go
Talking of the rodeo
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

The Poet's Eye

Seems the time has passed. All that's left is to shake down the final kapitalist kingdom... just focus on the tectonic grind of all that money. There may never again be such a long, triumphant perfect thud... Sell the wasteland for record profit...

Let's us go then
You and I
Where we can relive
The world as seen through
His eyes yet again
