A poetic work for the ages, the 21st century epic; the Millennial dialectic supreme! Come and witness the death of the American Dream and the birth of something new. Let the phoenix rise and the ash wash off as we dance twixt the pages of poetry to discover life anew! Let us gaze upon the old and give birth to the new, come, let us change the world.
To Cull The Living Flower
I've made a necklace for you
From the flowers of life's garden
Twas to console your hear, so blue
And lift your spirit, fallen
Oh you did love this gift
But before your shoulders settled
Life's fingers, they did lift
And pluck away the petals
Oh this twas to your horror
This gift, so beautiful
Your scream "Please take no more!"
As time rips them in handfuls
Each petal for you, lost
It rends and breaks your heart
It seems to high a cost
To watch beauty depart
So now you stand their helpless
Chain round your neck now bare
You think that life is callus
And only wants despair
But life, it isn't cruel
Nor is it full of dread
For the necklace, though twas beautiful
The flowers, they were dead
Let not this loss of consolation
Cause now your heart to harden
Come, beak the chain in celebration
And join me in the garden
