Last for the nite. Kind of morbid, but do u like it.?

Question:"life is..."

Deep on down the light rail line,
someone screams... my child.
Trains they come and they go,
and sad dreams aren't that long.

I will dream like hell tonight,
I never asked for war.
and yet the politicians sleep,
burning, yearning, more.

May they dream forever,
They all wanted war.
Now we all just go to sleep,
but dreaming comes no more.

After reading some of the depressing stuff that you write, I find it funny that you call this one "morbid." Serious yes, morbid no.
This is one of your better efforts.

wow....that is so beautiful kepp righting pomes yes i think that was verry good

You write well in the wee hours of the morn. Your mind travels to many places. Sad, but it's true. The dreams come no more.

your exactly right. I cannot put humorous comments on this one. Its well done!! ( okk I had to say it cough cough) but really its right on target. Steve your writing has excelled in so many new ways. Xoxo

It has the lonesome sound of something a soldier would write when he is standing guard duty or just thinking of his family back home. I think it is well written. Thank you for sharing.

Morbid no, but lacks a better title. This is an excellent poem, which a title will set up better.

Considering all the stuff you write about suicide, death, suffering in the afterlife, to mention only a few, this is far from morbid.

Excellent poem. I believe you.

that was really good.

good poem ...

I liked this one very much. Good expression and imagery. Title doesn't fit somehow. The rhythm is a little off in the third line, maybe something like " Trains will come and then they go"? Just a thought. I like it very much. It is not morbid to write of serious matters. Well done.
