BagelBoys Poems
Dammit----
Here we go, There world is spinning. When it stops, Its just beginning. Sun comes up, We laugh and we cry. Sun goes down, And then we all die...
The World Around Me----
Sometimes I sit and wonder why This life can be so hard Just when I think I’ve got it right Something seems to go wrong. I try to do all that I can To make it through the day But after all is said and done I’m still in the same awful place. My temper remains out of control My thoughts consume my days I can’t remember the last day that went by That I didn’t cry or feel shame. What happened to the guy I knew? The one I was proud to be That guy got lost so long ago I’m afraid I’ll never be set free.
Stoned---
If only I were made of stone I'd watch the eons pass From time primordial - long since gone - To the future man will surpass. If I were stone beneath the waves Of Earth's first living sea I could have learned how life began And solved this mystery. If I were stone I could have seen When Pharos ruled the land Then patiently I'd sit and watch The sphinx reduced to sand. If I were stone I'd see the night When stars no longer shine And all the memories of the world Would exclusively be mine. If only I were made of stone I'd fear not to depart For when the rains had warn me away They'd reveal no broken heart
