PARTYTIME AT GROUND ZERO

PARTYTIME AT GROUND ZERO

It happened before- it'll happen again

A bomb dropped at the point of impact- can you feel it?

Whose story is being told?

If men blame women- for the original sin-

In a battle for dominion

If there is no Goddess- Who will be our God?

They teach only enough- for you to serve evil kings

They kill daughters and sons- and call it power

Must I die to prove how much I love you?

Partytime at ground zero

After the smoke is clear- smell the fear

Won't say no names to make you famous-

Like so-called "aliens" and the "Illuminati"

With legal drugs and alcohol and viruses-

And laboratories full of mad scientists

So you can have fun- especially if you're young

However- beware of the danger

Don't invite strangers- too close or too soon-

I was at that party- battlescars to prove it

Some say diamonds are a girl's best friend-

Even from enemies- a promise without faith

Barbarians addicted to violence-

Are hungry and angry- for money and sex

Take us to your leader- who can't see or hear us

All of us are numbers- some of us are victims

Some of us wanna-be the latest fashion-

Some of us are only cheerleaders

Men who plan a dark future-

Don't care if you suffer- as long as they win

Tryin' to save the planet? Try to save the children-

From players who treat it like a game

Many of us love to be seduced-

On those lonely, intoxicated nights

Partytime at ground zero-

After the smoke is clear- smell the fear

Thank you. I have more but it's a little discouraging that I notice so many people reading and not commenting. I've made a few friends on here (like yourself) and those are the poets I come looking for. My time is limited (I use a public computer)- but I'll keep looking and try to listen more than I speak. For you, my next post won't be so gloomy.

I'm a very bright person and I'm always smiling but the dark thoughts have to go somewhere and they seep into my poetry and writing :) Keep writing James :) You're great

I like you Julia. There's a lot of darkness in my past- mostly due to circumstances and bad decisions. What you're witnessing is me trying to save myself and as many more will come with come with me for the ride. I'll try my best to make sure you don't get bored. Stand firm!

I fully appreciate your comments- but I notice a lot of people reading my work without many comments. Jimmy, I've heard from Shah, Shirley, Tina and of course, Julia. Sometimes the fire needs fuel. Ihope I'm not asking for too much.

Brother, Brother, 

Keep doing your thing James, more people than you think is tuning in, just as you stated earlier you sitting back and listening....well that maybe what they are doing with you.....listening to you right now and all your stuff is good and it might not receive it's just do right on point but as they stumble upon it, it will take off...Keep doing you, Just as Shirley,Shah, Julie, Morris and for sure myself, states, keep delivering,you have more followers than you think...You are considerate enough to comment on others as you do and one hand will in-turn wash the other..........Keep viewing your cup as though it were half full, rather than half empty, it can only get better from here....

Later,

Jim
