An Aberration

A Fool's Lamentation

James R. Ford
The mistake still lingers
sliding from the brain
down into the fingers

with all excitement gone
the frozen lies
with piss poor judgement
lingers on and on

In sincere posthaste
the pattern was followed
rolling words off your tongue
no deliberate grunt
was hardly pronounced

Instead, with Christ like humility
the order was followed
the belief structure certain for apprehension
never challenged

like lemmings to the sea we abided
in nonchalant fashion
until mercilessly falling into an aura of despair

and now, the awakening
a new militant renitence
not too late to change the future,
the past will be remembered
without reverence to your filthy poisonous lies
thanks for nothing, bitch.

    Wow! This was pretty awesome (no shit)! I reckon this could be every man's story; ever think of setting it to music? Seriously, good stuff, bro!

    Thanks. I always like to close well. It's like the ringing of a bell.
