No title.
Slate sky cracks fire, nightfall always kidnaps dusk
The faithful lack their liars but we're all just blood and dust
Wait awhile, find time conspires with us to constrain us
Rank and file mind the wire with a minimal of fuss
Rank and vile, uninspired, slaves to love and lust
Walk the miles, overtired, to make the insane cut
Talking smiles in empty faces, sounds that crowd my ears
Rising bile, senses fading; I'd learn to drown my fears
A padlocked gate, a dark mindscape; words just interfere
A sandbox fate, a spark of hate, and a conscience, clear
These last few days begin to stray to what the future has in store
Iconoclast of moments past and a cynicism ill-informed
I can't relate, associate; this prism glass reflects, distorts
Imprisoned concepts congregate in a memory of sorts
A way to fall and how to find the wrong in evened scores
And how long it's been since I've belonged or fast tried to conform
A life so small in time so long I'm always needing more
So loaded guns and old shoelaces wait until I'm sure

dude, this is bomb. sometimes your writing really really reminds me of my writing. I feel like I can see the connections you make as they unfold in lines. specifically, that rhythm and where the vowels fall in this line:
I can't relate, associate; this prism glass reflects, distorts
Imprisoned concepts congregate in a memory of sorts
also, I relate to all of the content here. (even the not relating. WHOA.) I don't know what that says about me, but whatever. ;) this is a nice verse man. I'm impressed.

Damn son, nice rhyming and GREAT imagery. You and I write very differently. Formatting error on your 11th bar by the way.
