Poetry Post 288

Solitary Freedom
Locked up peacefully in my mental sanctuary
Where I choose what is real or imaginary
Alone I build a Utopian society
Based on fancy grounded in sobriety
Drunk only on immortal words of wise friends I haven't met
Living in a world others haven't achieved yet
Except those living immortal through word, written or sung
Away from the unidealistic mortal flesh I am not among

Guarantees Of Love
I thought love was the path to a long and happy life
But I didn't count on the frustration, anxiety and strife
I took those feelings for granted
So I preached, raved and ranted
Talking about equality, peace and unity
The rights that love guarantees to be free
But very few ever did relate
Because of living in fear and hate
So many wouldn't feel secure
Opening up to their neighbor
Everywhere I go another close heart, mind and mouth
Because East doesn't like West and North hates South
So love set me free to endlessly roam
Always looking for someplace to call home

Down So Low
I've gone down so low
I don't know which way to go
Which path will better ease the pain
Could my mental sanity be regain
Death is just too great of a cost
Life is just too great of a loss
But life today is just too great a pain
Because this world is too insane
I have too much to lose
But what can I do about my blues
Is it all downhill from here
Or is my future going to clear
