*** Poem Release ***
*** Poison in
my Veins ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
they tell me there's
poison gushing round in my veins
this news is as welcome, as
putting on your boots over chill-blanes
as it is, half my veins
have gone varacase
still yet another hurdle for me to
face
guess I should feel grateful, it's non contagious as
such
only through blood transfer, so I still can touch
my
bag of burden is getting quite heavy and full
while life goes
on, a rest sometimes would be soulful
I look on the bright side
of life, an eternal optimist
just as well as otherwise about
now I'd feel quite pissed
you say this is just your way of
putting me to the test
how many more tests are there before my
heavenly rest ?
there's nothing else for it but to carry on as
best as I can
though why did this latest burden have to be in
my life's plan ?
no point in moaning or crying or feeling
sad
doing these would only make me quite mad
so I roll
another cigarette and make a cup of tea
for now, I just pretend
this isn't happening to me
