baby steps
grown
routine
tiresome journey
seems unending
then death.
Some get a smaller flash - fewer even than 10 words!

I could have loved you,
madman though you were,
would have been loyal
would have been true

there would have been no need
to struggle as you did
to find acclaim, acceptance
pleasure and comfort abed.

I’d have done ‘most anything
to keep you well supplied
with canvass, paint and brush
to build your artist’s pride.

I would have stayed near
loved your work…
your soul,
your all
and

you could have kept your ear.

hierarchy
 Apr 2017 Joy Ceye

Where does hierarchy begin?
    Is it where the strong is on top,
and the weak step upon?

Where does your dignity be placed?
   Is it where your always be the winner,
no matter what, even it has bitter taste.

Is SURVIVAL really that cruel?
That some of us are just a tool,
a fool for the strong to be cool.

No, it can't be that bad
yet reality is quite sad.

Despite our hard beginnings
Life still is beautiful
that losing isn't everything.

Dignity is placed -
where you respect yourself the most
and Hierarchy isn't important
to where your love is...

Diamond crown, diamond rings
Diamond gown, diamond things

Appearance is glittering
On the inside, rotting
Don't be fooled.
