And More Poems and Sonnets

Jim Morrison

"Did you have a good world when you died? Enough to base a movie on?"

 
"The Lords appease us with images. 
 They give us books, concerts, galleries, shows, cinemas, 
Especially the cinemas.  Through art they confuse us and blind 
us to our enslavement.  Art adorns our prison walls, keeps us 
silent and diverted and indifferent."
 
"The Endless quest a vigil

of watchtowers and fortresses

against the sea and time.

Have they won?  Perhaps.

They still stand and in

their silent rooms still wander


the souls of the dead,

who keep their watch on the living.

Soon enough we shall join them.

Soon enough we shall walk

the walls of time.  We shall

miss nothing

except each other."
"As I look back
     over my life
     I am struck by postcards
Ruined Snap shots
     faded posters
Of a time, I can't recall"
