A Question of the Ages

ARS Poetic-a

Question to pick up and run with
Or an idea with which to wander?

How can I recreate my emotions,
With only a pen?
And if I spoke of them once,
Would my stories happen again?

Would people from my past resurrect themselves?
It's been a long time
Can men change to correct themselves?
Change from the chains of their gangs and pick up the pieces since they fell?

I usually don't ask questions,
Because answers don't come.

So I write these lines in my notebook,
Just for kicks, or for fun.

But now back to the question

Could I recreate the flesh of the figures of my imagination?
Bring about the blood to beings for rhyme and reason?

Should I try and let ink flow like blood
From people in Guatemala?

Does our government still saga
Indigenous massacres in America
places like the the U.S. and Nicaragua?

Is there such thing as purposeful poetry
Without flaws?

If when, a rebel owns a pen
Would that bring him cause?

Aw Shit!

Too many questions come to mind at the time
Lets just stick to the question of
