September 24

Poetry Possibility:

Song for the Forgotten:

My tongue is down
Love the words that I mean
Stuck in my wooden house
Underneath a stream

House underneath a stream
Throwing away luck and gambling dreams
Wait for the the crane
To come and pick you up
Wait for it to gather steam

Steam from the clouds
But the sun shines no more
We're covered in darkness
It shines no more

You forgot
About little wooden house
Floating underneath
I'm gullible mouse
Thought I was protected
But the cracks became infected
Accident or not
My foundation's going to rot

Get on your dancing shoes
I'm ready to die

I thought I could rely
On the protector of life to provide
But since I'm floating underneath
I guess I can not
Because I'm sitting under
I give out a hurricane sigh
As my foundation rots

You forgot
About little wooden house
Floating underneath
I'm gullible mouse
Thought I was protected
But the cracks became infected
Accident or not
My foundation's gong to rot

So put on your dancing shoes
I'm going to die

Wait a sec before you come for
Me 
Waiting, wading inside the 
Streets
Build me on stilts to keep me
Clean
But your sordid record
And broken promises and severed sectors
Makes we want to cry

Put on your dancing shoes, I am to die

So when ever if you ever think of
Little house floating underneath,
I won't expect you to save me from this grief
Mexican waters slowly lap at my feet
Wear your nicest suit and report the feat

You forgot 
About little wooden house
Floating underneath
I'm gullible mouth
Thought I was protected
But the cracks became infected
Accident or not
My foundation's going to rot

So shine up your dancing shoes
I'm going to die.
