Breaking the Rulers

of this sordid zoo of mine,
and feed my heart with kindness
despite the clearly posted sign.

Some a little less.
That is their duty
to their own conscience.
But all give freely.
That is yours.

Submitted by nato on Tue, 12/22/2009 - 11:09I want to have friends
that I can trust,
that love me for the man I've become
not the man that I was.
And I want to have friends
That let me be
all alone, when being alone
is all that I need.
I want to fit in
to the perfect space,
feel natural, and safe
in a volatile place
And I want to grow old
without the pain,
give my body back to the Earth
and not complain.
Will you understand
when I am too old of a man?
Will you forget,
When we have paid our debt?
Who did we borrow from?
Who did we borrow from?

Okay part two, now clear the house.
the party's over, take the shouting and the people,
GET OUT!
I have some business, and a promise that I have to hold to
I do not care what you assume, or what the people
TOLD YOU!

Will you understand
when I am too old of a man?
Will you forget,
When we have paid our debt?
who did we borrow from?
who did we borrow from?
I want to have pride
like my mother has
and not like the kind in the bible
that turns you bad.
I want to have friends
that I can trust,
that love me for the man I've become
not the man that I was.
