No Right to Complain

No Right to Complain
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

No right to complain, my hearts a grenade
and someones pulled the pin.
My body has rushed in to cover its,
explosions it thumps so wildly against my breast.

That man has no shoes!
That man has no FEET!
My boots are worn but sturdy.
Ill try to bleed quietly.

Some men live under a roof of sun and stars,
and some joker contends that chaos is fair.
My ceiling rains dust of plaster that swirls in sun beams,
it blankets my keyboard warmly as a child shivers.

There is no time for tears, though the windows of my soul leak constantly a salt of wounded love.
Oh how greedy, this guilt of vain desire
The blood upon my hands and I want MORE!

Survival of compromise, of relative obscenity.
Silver spoons dance on gilded manicures,
and a fly walks across a distended belly bloated.
Bleeding quietly, screaming love in whispers.

It aint the money yes it is.
It is the comfort of your pain that discomforts my duality.
My envies comparison of Darwin and God.
Of the numbed living and the breathing dead.




No right to complain, my hearts a grenade
and someones pulled the pin.
My body has rushed in to cover its,
explosions it thumps so wildly against my breast.

This is so cool. I love the poem, and the visuals just blew me away.

Strangely satisfying to watch the green heart fill, disturbing how simply destroyed. Good mix with your poetry, as ever. 5*

It's always about the money! That guy holding his guts was a nice touch.
