warped at sunrise, dead at dawn(Arnold Melleby, 10.20.2024)

 

he was a skinny ass lawyer

with a fat wallet

married to his high-school sweetheart

she hung herself in her push-up bra

they were huge, alright

her self esteem not


still working on his first billion

waking up one morning

to an awesome day

feeling

the eagle hasn`t landed yet

still with a boner

from last nights blue pills

in excess, as the norm

and not the exception


a ceramic soul

in a digital suicide

sick as a dog

pushing merchandise

digging into an Amercian pulp

gone to far


working all day

working all night

what else is left to share

apeart from the dreams

while asleep

and do it all over again

tomorrow


warped at sunrise

dead at dawn

father to son(10.04.2024)

breaking in, is hard to do

breaking up, is easy

what happens in between

all of a sudden

makes no sense to me

the river ran dry

long before

my feet got wet


do you

or do you not

ever listen

even if words are not spoken

a face can tell it all

just by looking at it

once in a while


take a deep, deep breath

release all the anger inside

and fly away

become that eagle

ruling the sky

above


son

bring it on

tell me story

I haven`t told you

tell it to me now

cut open the flesh

and let it all out

and become a man 


and land

like the onlookers

have never ever

seen before

make`m bow

tear down the walls

become the legend

you were born to be
