    "Pursuit of Happiness"

    Tripping the fires
    Of ones imagination,
    In ancient prayers attire.
    Native fingers dance
    Upon organic fabrics
    Of a corporate man.

    She just withers. Old;
    Brittle, cold in shiver
    Lingering in the textile
    Of the vile soul.

    Bats that shattered
    Glance to onlookers,
    As patterns take form,
    Her poor battered
    Hands tremble more.

    Corporate America
    Stands waiting in line;
    Time's steady tapping
    Foot rattles the eyes
    Of collapsing study
    Within their wooden dummy.

    The lines go forever.
    Upon the countryside
    Winds a foolish birth
    Of stride for better.

    White collars popped,
    Waiting to be dressed.
    While a blue jean step
    Dresses the last thought.

    As...

    Her fingers bleed.
    The needle eats
    Through helping hands
    To remind that she,
    The factory, too is man.

    And amongst the savage
    Ever wading valleys
    America's true colors
    Paint the cavernous.

    Red, White, Blue...
    Lights the step
    Of conforming request.

    The checker faced
    Seamstress sews on.
    As each addict seems
    To meets his ease
    Upon receipt of bond.

    She smiles there as
    Multi collard America
    Grins like a fucking idiot.
    They awe at her craft,
    To the point they
    Blind themselves
    To the hideous hatch.

    Amongst the crosshairs,
    There lies her angst.
    Weaved into each stitch
    The smiles of care
    Rage in the blaze of a bitch.

    She owns you.

    Consumed your glee
    With exchange of receipt...
    Then worked in her pain
    To pierce the action
    for which it's been made.

    And as you stroll off,
    She wipes her tears;
    Giggles through cough.

    As she weaves
    Disease into savvy steps,
    Signing another soul
    To sin, Per Suit of Happiness.

    I thought it lacked a...hmm..."pow" ya know like I'm here read me! It was good but dragged on... I lost the rhythem of it a couple times and had to go back and read it again... but it had a very good meaning and most of all a solid story.
    I'm not back...I'm simply bored out of my mind.
