Just Like You

[Saturninus]

I wear black, combat boots and chains

my hair coifed short like a Nazarene

so close to my skull to appear insane.

I adore sad music - dirge and lament

darkness & tears swept up in holy desire.

Yet, when hard times come, it is God who

holds my hand. It is he that bids me peace.

+++

When my blood flows, is it not as red as yours?

When my heart breaks, is it not as sad?

When my soul aches for freedom, does it not speak in a language you understand?

I am no different than you. Why must you kill me with your words and fire and sword?

Is our God too distant...or your life so bored?

~ That is how waaay too many people judge others with fear.

... So many decisions of hate created by minds unclear

of preconceptions & and tons of other 'tions'...

It's a world full of humans full of fears & tears.

Our eldest son affiliated with a Mexican gang {So.Cal.} & got addicted to Meth.

During his time in Prison he adorned himself with large tattoos. Chest, back, arms. He's 27. He's not Mexican.

He is {hopefully} weaned from such, he's in a 'half-way house' yet too far away for us to monitor.

I know, he's an adult. But dammmit! He's always my child!!! He's smart & beautiful & creative & a junky.

{& bald & wearing chullo clothes & his friends are 'Psycho' & 'Peanut'. I cry alot. }

Now ya understand my tag-line, huh? I babble...

Sorry. I'll try to contol myself better.

but what would a stream be if it didn't "babble"--

a boring lil puddle

it's the "babbling" that gives it it's own special character
