October 6th

Time it took us...

 I discovered that it's best for me to post what I wrote the day before instead of trying to do it that very day. This will allow me to post more often instead of every 3 or 4 days. 

In regards to what I already established as tradition,
This Friday's prewritten piece was composed at the end of January 2016. A sort of short story with poetic assets, about a character of misfortune yet charisma toward intentions. This character's name, as I recall, was taken from a tune favorite of mine, which in turn was derived from Greek mythology.


The World's Beast of a Burden

Oh poor Atlas
The world's Beast of a burden
All in-and-out inspired by human rage
No anger could control him
for he was trying to emancipate
himself & his false acolytes
though other, he tried to rescue them
He wanted confidence & compassion
But the world did not require him
For he was just a nuissance
filled with sensitivity & good intent
Because in dirt he found faded glory
So he ran off to save the day
Tried to polish the tarnish off
But the iron already started to rust
Atlas was in a big roar
He's been holding on a long time
Trying to keep his coward tamed
Only puddle eyed in the long run
-
Oh poor Atlas
he sees the world as such a simple place
Only tainted by cruel decisions
He envisions filtering it out
He only needs help
