Living on the Border
Anonymous:
It was a night in early Spring
The winter-sleep was scarcely broken;
Around us shadows and the wind
Listened for what was never spoken.
Though half a score of years are gone,
Spring comes as sharply now as then -
But if we had it all to do
it would be done the same again.
It was a Spring that never came -
But we have lived enough to know -
That What we never had remains;
It is the things we have that go.
Sara Teasdale
Anonymous:
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been for time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.
Corwned with lilies and laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you,
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt; of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains - but the best is lost.
The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love -
They are all gone. They are gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I Know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses of the world.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know.
But I do not approve.
And I a not resigned.

Its been years since
but its still in my mind.
Its in my face.
The truth can be traced.
But if proof got erased
the truth can be lied
by the rules they dicide.
Jump off the roof of this place
or stay quite and refined
what ever riot's in your mind
But don't try it in line.
Like a piolet Flying blind
Write my briale to recite
my ryhme
My fingers fail, its hard to find
And when they read my mail
its line for line.
I was there two months and they hardly knew my name.
But I pulled stupid stunts so was the one to blame.
But when I got up to share
they hung heads in shame.
Guess you know I play dirty Just the same.
Don't care if I'm thirty
Cause not then or now are you worthy
to squell my name.
In a concrete tomb.
Three days and Four others to share
I sat with my nose on a wall till noon.
Don't suppose there a small meal soon?
When the OP gaurd twisted my hand backwards up my head
I got a clue.
Truth is
I aint hungry and fuck food.
I'd rather sit in pain and stare at a wall
than deal with you dude.
Understand in this place
(his answer don't confuse you)
Think of yourself as a dog
Its, no, sit boy,
then
He'll abuse you.
Eat off the floor like an animal.
Get used to it.
'Cause Mr. Bailey gets amused when you do it.
See, Mr. Bailey gets fused, when you go threw it.
B, K and C(the Jamacans entire)
tell me I'm wrecked and I'm scared.
I know I'm wrecked
But I'm still admired.
'Cause I got my needs met
and I got my respect.
And I'm not a liar.

They all fall-
Like a million raindrops-
Falling from a blue sky-
Kissing your cares goodbye!
They all fall-
Like a million pieces-
A tickertape parade high-
And now you're free to fly !
Carryin' a millstone malaise-
It's been pulling down your gaze.
You pound the pavement-
It don't give or care-
This weight ain't yours to bear!
Why you holdin' grudges in old jars?
Why you wanna show off all your scars?
What's it gonna take to lay a few burdens down?
It's a beautiful sound -
When they all fall-
Like a million raindrops-
Falling from a blue sky-
Kissing your cares goodbye !
They all fall -
Like a million pieces-
A ticker tape parade high -
And now you're free to fly!
When that muffled sigh-
Says you're barely getting by-
Cut your burdens loose and just simplify-
Simplify.
This is not your floor-
You're going higher than before-
Drop the weight now
Wait
for the lookout guide-
Look outside-
As they all fall-
Like a million raindrops-
Falling from a blue sky-
Kissing your cares goodbye !
They all fall -
Like a million pieces-
A ticker tape parade high -
Now you're free to fly!
You've gotta lay that burden down.
You're gonna lay that burden down.
It's time to leave your burdens in a pyre-
Set a bonfire!
'Cause when you lay your burdens down-
When you lay your burdens down-
When you drop them burdens-
What a free-fall!
What a thrill!
Bury them all
In a landfill!
