 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

SHADOWED IN FAKED TEARS



The air alive with cackling birds
For my painful plea goes unwarranted
The tears shed attention getting
This world of self proclaimed honors
Witness that amongst the Master poets
For I have purchased all my poetry
Hidden in the shelves of poverty
My fifteen minutes of fame lived in shame
For who but I have really noticed
That the horses once ridden have died
Nightmares invade the pillage of earth
And no longer can I hold on to a dream
The end becomes that of alluded wealth
And I can only hope to start once again
In the path of master demons and poets
To know that to give in is simple truth
My lottery ticket was once again not a winner
Tomorrow a new start and a new Mega ticket
Forgive me the stupidity of living on chance
First a Casino and now a losing lottery ticket
Just playing with your mind if you read this far
