Four liners for the maple leaf



--

If my mother were to know
we all live in this world of shame
she would have sighed and
not tried her hand on poetry.

You and me,
all wrapped in time, running for glory
i see little kids, looking at us,
finding nothing, save a sad story.

Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times i can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip its been.

You are the star,
Wanting to know where we are going,
Too much light here,
The destination not worth showing.

Hit and miss, blood and tears
Childhood stories, grown up liars
I eat your breasts, you bash my penis,
thats to life dear maple, and all its glories..
