lost

by omegapaf

lost in misunderstandings we drift in the dark.
alone, we walk in the rain in the park.
our only comfort is a friendly hound dog bark.

just have another drink.
and forget that we ever learned how to think.
nobody listens when i'm teetering on the brink.

yeah, yeah, yeah poetry is all so important.
no, it fucking ain't.
losing your house and having no money isn't fucking quaint.

the world falls to bits around us.
oh! but we must not make any fuss.
another soul burned....time for the bus.

The streets are filled with empty faces, nothing here is new.
It’s just the same in other places I have journeyed to.
I was the first across the water, the last across the land.
I walked out of the silver mine, my pockets full of sand.
Alone inside my head, alone inside my room.
I feel alone inside my head, alone inside my tiny little world.

Alone - Big Country Cool

    " i came from the hills with a tear in my eye.
    the winter closed in and the crows filled the sky.
    the houses were burning with flames gold and red.
    the people were running with eyes full of dread " - the storm.

such powerful images I could see the scene as it unfolded and smell the rain. the poem draws the reader into the setting. sadly losing ones house has become a common every day occurrence here in the states. Foreclosure is seen more than for sale.

Are you ok? Let me know.
This is very high quality poem, an excellent write, one of your best. Intensely honest, shrewed and sad.

    thanks gaily. maybe i'm too honest?

    " it's just a shadow of the people we should be.
    i know there is no need for what's been done.
    i know there is enough for everyone.
    but frustration brings a heavy hand to bear.
    and there never is a hand outside that cares.
    still the promise comes of living fit for all.
    if we could only get our back's up against the wall " - stuart adamson.

Aww, I'm sorry to see this... such a sad refrain, to be sure. There is nothing matter of fact or remotely statistical when it's your own home and your own peace of mind that's on the line. Wishing for a good outcome, Mary Ann

    thanks mary ann. statistics only matter to other people when your home is on the line. then they become vitally important - lost in translation sometimes - paul and the untranslateble hound.

G'day Paul...
They say honesty is the best policy Paul...but you better not count the bankers, public service, and anyone who says 'good morning, I'm from the government and I'm here to help you,' in that category. Hope things have turned your way mate.
