Attempted Patricide

by Stovohobo

Attempted patricide,
You can try
To run and hide,

But there is nowhere.

A gold-ringed tunnel awaits you,
You stare life in the face, you
Still don’t know what to do.

There is everywhere.

The Newest Deal,
Everyone’s a winner
[Except for the sinners]
So why don’t you take it?
Why’d you forsake it?

Huddled in the darkest corners,
Calling for retired coroners,
A golden light assumes an unlikely position.
A voice reached out for you to sit straight and listen…

Attempted patricide,
You can try
To run and hide,

But there is nowhere.

    Don’t know what any of that had to do with trying to kill your father . . . or anything, really.

    i have to say im definitely a fan of the random, don’t know where I’m going with this poem
    and i commend you on having done such a good job
    its deep, it rhymes and it’s about nothing
    well done

    and i also have to say – looking pretty sharp in those new sunnies; just adds another layer to your 12 year old (writes like a 20 yr old) mystique
