What will it take ???
j a connor Jul 2023
Lost is the mood that drives me today
Wherever I go it follows my way
This society depresses
Why am I so bad
Crisis in the world directs me to sad
Emotional blackmail for a world that is broke
Business ain't bad but I still can't be woke

Where are the elected in this generation of need
Happy for votes to sow their seed
No progress is made to end conflict and hate
Economics prevail despite all that is said

To end like this
Is not too smart
But I feel we are lost
Unless we start
Standing for truth
Not succumbing to fear
Challenging not accepting
Or
Living
Does
Not
Exist
Here

If you are defined as radical
Or trapped
In a categorical cliche

j a connor Feb 2024
So
Standing in the middle of a deserted
Walkway
I
Hear
No sound
Unusual in a big city
To hear
No sound
The urban crane lies quiet
As does
The crawling Caterpillars
Regeneration is the term
For communal execution
But change is dictated
So change must replace
Amen

before the light disappears I stare into the sky
clouds have taken on a tinge of colour
horizon beckons my thoughts
somewhere out there is my daydream place
where the past mingles with now
such a feeling of calm
I wish I could stay

Trespassing in the wake of hope

To feel charged is preferable to being drained

far away
                   in my mind
all is well

sheltered from the outside world
dark and chilled
                    far from hell

left alone to create a scene
happy to believe
                    life's still a teen

but late at night
                            when I can't help                   but dream
its a place of nightmares



where my heart
                                                              goes to scream

The cold greets me as I talk to the dawn
Autumn
No Winter
Summer is gone

I stop to greet the sky seldom seen
Fallen
Hiding
Shadows on the green

Cold Spring does not support or try to hide hope
Prayers
Or wishes
Cherish or cope

My year lies in shapes pleasure and art
Crying
Laughing
Seasons break my heart
