CHAPTER

  It appears at last that we are closing another chapter

  Will we learn what they were really after?

  Hold steady

  Be ready

  For those above may soon need to fill their belly

  Go now, before it’s too late

  Yes, don’t hesitate

  Don’t you know life is short?

  Is there any real retort

  Blackness fell above the dwelling

  A crippling mass than can be quite compelling

  But hopefully not overwhelming

  It’s the reason they brought you to me

  NO more troubles as far as I can see

  It’s the last chapter

  No more crying after

  Have a beer, drink with laughter

  Time to close this crazy chapter

  LAST ONE

  Fine, one last page

  One to jot down all the rage

  Except I don’t really have any in me

  The fight is dying

  Why am I trying?

  The woman’s touch is beyond enticing

  Take this one here, the nerves are clear, like a deer stung by lights and consumed with fear

  But no worries

  It’ll all soon be over; no it’s not what you think

  The accusations, I’ve been unable to blink

  Give us a wink

  It’s the best sign

  Let us know it’s the time

  To ring the bell and be on our way

  Do you really think we should stay?

  An interesting place indeed

  The slightest difference and your crazy it seems

  Unsure of how to prove the thoughts in my dreams
