Slowly Lowly by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

Slowly Lowly

Take it easy, baby steps, Or you may crash and fall, They will never come to help you, If they’ll ever come at all. They wouldn’t even see you, All too busy with their lives, As they carry on existing, In a cityscape that thrives. Take it easy, baby steps, Or you may have no food, Keep smiling at the gentry, And ignore the richly-rude. Pity those that pity, And avert their empty eyes, For you are just a stain, a shame, And all that they despise. By Ragman 2014

No-One Sees by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

No-One Sees

The trees lie dead on grass that's brown, The poisons killed this part of town, And no-one sees this weeping sore, For no-one visits anymore. People came and nature died, Destroyed by growing boundary tide, The houses grew and blocked the sun, The deathly cycle had begun. Factory's built on sacred land, Ravenous, hungry to expand, Toppling natures foilage crown, The trees lie dead on grass that's brown. By Ragman 2014

Wet Pillow by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

Wet Pillow

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, I drink so much coffee I’m permanently wired, I’ve loved and hated all at the same time, The tears still flow on this pillow of mine. I’ve self-destructed and re-invented, My thoughts are all rhyming, deluded, demented, I thought what I had was enough to forget, Still these tears of mine flow and my pillow is wet. I cry when I’m happy, smile when I’m sad, I’m perfectly sane but my sanity’s mad, My life was a journey but now it’s a fight, But my tears still flow on my pillow at night. Some people mistake me, misjudge me, dislike, In a world of

Broken Compass by TheRealRagman, literature

Ebbing Reality by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

Ebbing Reality

The waves of time are crashing, Lapping up and down the shore, On the rocks of me, are smashing, Breaking, taking more. No matter how I try to save, Defences, always battered, They keep on coming wave-by-wave, And each wave leaves me shattered. Everyday I sleep and wake, Then try to stem the flow, But more the waves of time then take, I’ll drown and die, I know. By Ragman 2014

War-Time Blues by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

War-Time Blues

I’m fed up with this “life” I’ve got, War and death, sadness, pain, My head is full, my stomach’s not, Each week debt, never gain. Sometimes I sit (alone) and cry, Single thought, repeats in mind, I’m so depressed, I don’t know why. It helps to weep a bit, I find. My mind is trapped within my life, I sit and watch the war ‘til late, I cannot rest with all this strife, I cannot rest with all this hate. By Ragman 2005

Mirror, Mirror, Burning Bright (18+) by TheRealRagman, literature

Assisted Complaint by TheRealRagman, literature

Literature

Assisted Complaint

Dear Sir (or Madam), I’m writing this day, As I’m sure that this item is wrong, I’ve tried to reboot, restart and replay, It still feels like it doesn’t belong. I know you are busy, a lot on your plate, So I’ll keep this note short, to the point, I think it arrived about 10 years too late, As the whole thing just feels “out of joint”. Please could you help, I have no-one to see, I have nothing to offer but sadness, If you’re really there, looking down upon me, Then help me and rid me of madness. By Ragman 2014

I gave you a llama for your birthday tomorrow because I'll probably forget. I know it doesn't mean much, but happy early birthday anyway.
