My Alter Poet?

Your alter poet is Allen Ginsberg. Quick, go nuts,
because THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU!


Who is Your Alter Poet?
brought to you by Quizilla

untitled

awaken
this, another day enslaved
in gray
no black
no gray

make up your mind lad
what shall it be
if it matters

i can't even turn off the lights
and be alone in my darkness

it's not bright enough
but too bright to hide the dark
i can't even pretend

though it may pass
it surly will come again
with it's sharp blade of steel
touching my back
a prick of red
but only a drop to remind me
of mortality

and i shall shiver and protest the
harshness of this sentence
but upon deaf ears
