CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY * He remembered the day it all came down. The thought struck his mind, like a rocket going off. * While others would dream ofnoble pursuits, he would compromise all toput on that suit * He put on a suit, That he wore for the world. The suit of conformity, and self-righteous fools. * His battles were fought behind a bigdesk. while his own hopes and dreams, had beenlong laid to rest * He held secret dreams, he would never pursue, for the almighty dollar, was all that he knew * the things he would do he knew they were wrong but for the sake of that profit he would let it go on * Acompromised value, a look the other way, it all became easier eachtimethat he played * With morality breeched, his guilt was absolved, there wasn’t a problem, that couldn't besolved…….. * The once pristine beaches, that now lay in ruins, as the once thriving life liesblack on the dunes. * Whole people’slivelihoods were now non-existent, with peoplereduced to begging like peasants * He saw repercussions, It hit a raw nerve Like the future Ghost of Scrooge he got whathe deserved! * They said he was missing and not been seen since Left a note on his desk That he’s taking a rest. * Drove his Porsche off a cliff and stripped himself bare. doused himself with gas settingfire to his hair. * Though some sit and wait for their judgment day, There are times,that for some, that'sjust too far away. * He’d rather end it now, as a virtual unknown than to spend all the rest, being hated and scorned. * WordPlaya, May 26, 2010

I enjoy writing and since rediscovering the power of poetry, it has brought me much joy! My favorite poet is Richard Brautigan, and I am a big fan of freestyle poetry, as I find it less limiting and most creative. I also like spoken word poetry. ...
