The Imperfect Drifter
imperfect being drifting
on the other side of the wall
to be free of err is to be captive
to nothing at all
for it does not exist to perfect the
'un'perfected ones
but to cherish the art of
being an unfinished masterpiece
in a tier second to none
looking within, where in
self love finds herself
in a chamber of broken mirrors
in which she'll forever remain
if the imperfect being allows
the disenchanted tenant of his own mind
to swallow the key, so it seems
to be given to us by the shinning bright
lights of the tv screens and
billboard queens
the holstered choice of destruction for
media kings
to foreclose the deteriorating home she
once felt at peace with
a forgetless, relentless adversary
on the streets you try to walk on
in order to find yourself only to find
a foreclose notice posted on the door
of your soul
forget it all, rip it up, force the mind
to hand over the keys, clean up the yard
and tear down that wall
only to find that every house on the block
foreclosed, the same for all
the wall did'nt separate you from the ideal
but the reality that you're not the only one
drifting
you're not the only lonely one hitting walls
they all seemed to be locked out
the universe concludes the aforementioned
imperfect being proves to be a perfect being
in a world where perfection ceases
nay
never came to exist.
