Around Resounding Bound Poetry

by David Lester Young — Read all 1,103 poems by David Lester Young

Mercedes Benz, your HR demanded an American employee quit writing poetry in their home. Mercedes, Poetry are these Vietnam War Veteran napkins that had to write the war wrath with verse, like within a Kent State killing commons, one had to write to gain clarity. God, I had to write Poetry, to heal inside, those wounds that needed words, to heal.

I understand that pressure, like within WWII, where Corporations can demand employees quit writing, and the Nazi's did demand Jews, Gypsies and others work as silent slaves. Not sure how many former MB workers died or met their fate in internment and labor camps? It is, not your fault Mercedes, but what if their Poetry was heard?

It did hurt that MB terminated me for Poetry, instead of just letting me go. That the stain pain still lives deep within me, with these dark Mercedes Benz - Depressing Blues that I would rather sleep, than write my American Vietnam War Veteran verse reason, to stay awake.

What is a classic Mercedes, without Poetry inspirited looks? Thy ride is my, Crossfire Captain's “POETS”, it is a license plate put on my 2004 chariot convertible. She has a Texas Plate now, but also still shares her - Alabama Support The Arts "POETS" tag. She now needs a lot of work, and she has a MB proprietary software that add up dealer costs.

Why do I keep my aging POETS? Maybe, like my pasts, Camelot Dream, one can hope, for POETS restoration, and my staying awake to hope, I can write Poetry.

You see, I have to write, but in doing so, I condemn myself to sleep, or staying awake, one becomes needing this kiss of rhyme. As I question my right to write Poetry, as an American Veteran, in my own Home Sweet Home, I find the retribution trailing my words asking to stay awake.

Why waste my time, writing what is deep, within my soul needing deliverance?

Truth is I write this for myself to overcome MB Blues.

Around Resounding Bound Poetry

 

Dusk dawn bleakest, overcast gray,

Dust dye eyes, become overcome.

 

Adrift dry grains of wandering time,

Dew embrace, thy beads, full of live.

 

Do renew, divine grace. amidst love,

From whence, do thee, awake refreshed.

 

Dew peel away, dark shadows, night mare,

Evacuate thy sunken, trap entrenched spirit.

 

Sail whorl winds sunshine, alive - around thee,

Dew, lift blossom, thee HeArt feathered beats.

 

Bruster stroke, delicate Poet Tree, fluster leaf feats,

Vibrate vivid watercolors, rhyme bio, couplet harmony.

 

POETS, my proud Mercedes built chariot, thy Captain awaits,

To Be, poets amongst HeArtMosphere’s American Dream verse.

 

Mercedes, America must write, bud’s bright melody,

Asunder, amidst, Around Resounding, Bound Poetry.
