Dreaming

Dreaming

Words desecrating my bonesย 
Air asphyxiating my lungs,
Lies shattering like stonesย 
Blood dripping how it comes;
Desolation filling me with dreadย 
Perjurers wanting people dead
Blisters corroding my skinย 
Yellow smoke flows,
Searching for the equivocating sin
Men aghast as they froze,
People running for their livesย 
Lamenting wives as they cry;
Crashing of shells surroundingย 
Turrets from tanks crashing,
Bullets from guns poundingย 
Close combat knives slashingย 
Being stuffed in body bags;
Limbs being blown into rags
Dying men holding on to every last breathย 
Something need to hurry up death:
Moribund men screamingย 
Wishing I was dreaming.

Yeah man!!... know what you mean...... it would be VERY cool if you were able to glimpse the entirety of the world for precisely what it is in actuality.... but then..... after digesting all that negative crap...... it would be near-necessary to find that you were just ~ "DREAMING"...... because this reality in its negative aspects can be TOTALLY overwhelming!!...... cool write....... strong sense of poetic rhythm and timing driving it home!!.......ALL STARS!!...... well done dear poet brother!!.... and......WELCOME to COSMO JAMIE!!........LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xoย  ?โœดโค

Reminds me of an uncensored war tale, a real unromantic , harsh lens look at the world, I love the language.
