Ode of an Ode
by Caleb Jansen
Light breaks on the people who hold the world in two. Everything we want is controlled by those people. Why don’t they fight the battles? Why am I in their war? Why do I have to suffer for their benefit? Not anymore. I will not fight their war. I am not the enemy, nor am I the friend. I am me and I will fight my own war. Against people with more than me I wage. I will not sit as a duck while I am sent into the meat grinder.
Love (Abstraction)
by Caleb Jansen
I was drunk again.
Fell right back in the deep end.
You said nothing.
Like I wasn’t something.
Take me home.
On a carriage of dread.
Loving you, has made me a fool.
I fell for you.
You made me
a martyr for you.
I’ve made my bed,
Tacks laid out like a sheet.
Now I’ll lay in it.
Read, listen, share, create, and be on watch.
