the truth(Arnold Melleby, 07.20.2019)

another beached whale
another belly full of plastic
another rebel yell from nature
in deadly silence
and the waves
just keep on coming

for as long as
as the sun
keeps arising
the void of common sense
will keep on pounding
my plastic heart

the news reeled in
and I just wanted
to let it end
an angel lost of its wings
unable to fly
left without a choice
that kept hope alive

I`m not afraid to die
I`m not afraid of
what I may owe
any manmade god
I`ll make my own cross
or whatever it takes
and laugh all the way to eternity

and in the end
if heaven actually is a place
how come there are no pics
posted on snap, face or instagram
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
reality sure too is

and for all of you
that still think the sky is the limit
it`s not
the limit is you

down to get low(Arnold Melleby, 07.04.2019)

you had your day
and night as well
broke a spell
and moved on
cut the cord
and never looked back

years went on by
you never returned a call
stacks of returned letters
was about all
there was
unanswered replies

now, that`s why you
became an oddity
a novelty
instead of a commodity
for your others
in life

so don`t you ever
dear to criticize
me
don`t you ever
dear to question
my values and beliefs
carved in all of the stones
found in my path

care to walk it?
you are more than welcome
all you have to do is show up
and I`ll take you all the way
and there`s a lesson
to be learned

to get down
you need to get low
