It was $5.00 once

Contributed by Walt on Saturday, 20th September 2003 @ 01:35:00 AM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy

They send us down the road to a living hell
A shallow place where life is a block cell
Windows made of the shadows of dreams
Cornerstone of hell daemon’s that scheme

Wandering around in shadows of the night
Girls tempting souls out of the drug life
Which is it to be a quick love of sorts
Or 100 dollars of coke for your nose to snort

Place your bets upon the throne
What is will never be borne
The race is on the white horse
In the sands of a desert course

Five and ten will get you high
The after math will make you cry
Silver slivers in the vein
A running open sore of pain

Blood boils hot upon a body cold
50 pays for the coke body is old
lips are dry as the night from which she came
still the please is as great as summer rain

Searing heat tears apart what left of my brain
the doctors say he’s gone quite insane
Powders gone now for at least a year
But the memory still brings ranting fear

Demons come for me every single day
Memories inside my head send away
Hands still shake and tremors start
Fond is the memory but safe is the heart

Take the gift that is given very carefully
For the price is something you do not see
It might be the essence of all you ever hold
More than likely it will be your eternal soul

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
