Walking towards death I see a light

Walking towards death I see a light A light with neither a stance on reality nor fiction I turn in all directions yet somehow it does not escape my sight A piece of my life just a minor section A light for hope A light dimmed by dope A light to which my perils ends upon a upward slope This life? How is anyone to cope? I'm not religious, I'm no where near the pope Understand me now I tell u this to show u how How a life burns How one has no strength but continues to yearn Yearn for something which is not theirs But to them they seemingly go through out life without cares Blank faces Their mind erases In the world they are shown their places They go through life as copies and clones All so the so-called 'helpful' politicians can sit on their thrones Picking out their roast pig from their teeth with the Poor's bones Nick Green
