Buckle up, Soul, and get ready
To careen down to yon planet and inflict your incendiary
presence
A rare seed trespassing in plastic lives
Hoping to expand shallow minds with your pluck
Will those you stick to like glue love and embrace you
As you pray their taste for you ripens rich in time
Will you survive your incarnation in this crude habitat?
Or will you collapse and buckle
Under the weight of their
hate as they crush you like flowers
Your blood flowing scarlet to the sea in the heat of the sun
How quickly the accidental tourist is forgotten
To those with hearts rotten
like compost

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
