The Holocaust of Poetry
lies deep within me

Words line up to die
Phrases stand and cry
Rythmn awaits it's time
Rhyme is but a mime

Meter & Measure are lost
Poetry must pay the cost
of The Holocaust
that lies deep within me

No matter how i try
Each Letter forms a "Lie"
Each Word is "Good-bye"
Each Sentence asks "Why?"

No Poetry
can live within me
it always gets Lost
in The Holocaust
that lies deep within me
