bright light air ways
damaged among patriotic
souls among the favored
class roles
after faith
empty shells to
be filled remembered
or steeled
hardened
to the bottom

is there always another gutter
a basement below
depravity and sickness
can always outdo themselves

clammy hands submitted
lack of reply
tempted
what fate stores
find another battered shore
to call home


i don't like the "i don't like it when people do stuff" attitude that seems prevalent.
celebrate people embracing things that make them happy or further their ends.
push people up.
