Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.
Allen Ginsberg
steve a. manolis poet
I cry for the black and white of you
I cry for the black and white of you
For the rich and poor, for the haves and have nots
I cry for the ignorant and the apathetic
The Jew and the Christian, the liberal and the saint
I cry for the suppressed and the voices that cries the loudest
I cry for the beast in you, and the mothers and fathers
I cry for the soulless, and the homeless, and the bum on the street
I cry for the intelligent and the evil, and the man on the corner
I cry for the motherless child and the blind deaf and mute
I cry for your desire to be politically correct, for I am not
I cry for lesbian and the gay, and the straight and the fool
I cry for the empathy you lack or the food you give
Or the murderous son of a bitch that kill the children
I cry for the gutless and the gun carrying bible thumper
I cry for the conservative who cries for no one
Or the liberal that cries for all
I cry for the African, the Asian, the European
I cry for the shadows walking the street that steals your purse
I cry for the drunk sloven bastard, the wife beater and the wife
I cry for the happily married, the disgruntled and the cheaters
I cry for the Muslim and the Atheists, and all the god-fearing souls
Who walk this planet beating to the drums of their miss-begotten sins
I cry for the rotting stench you call your life,
I’ll cry when you jump off the bridge and at your empty casket
and poorly attended wake to which I don’t give a fuck, but I’ll cry
I’ll cry since we only have a lifetime to do the things we do
And when we are done I’ll be dead too, so I will cry
Since I only have a lifetime, I will cry for you and for humanity
And then I’ll Thank You very much.
