Flight Of The Enabler

So tired am I
of being your fall back guy
every time you require
a shoulder on which to cry

My back grows weary
from boosting constantly
your wavering self esteem

The needs
of this pillar
will no longer be secondary
to the whims
of my drama queen

Time for me to go
before I lose my identity
and become
a pitiful mess like you

Nearer My God To Me

In my dream
the Lord cameth to me
seeking advice
on a query of theology

Told his high Divineness
I was not qualified
in what really should be
his area of pious expertise

He smiled that sacred smile
and let out a soft sigh
cause he had no idea why
he would ever ask this befuddled guy
anything about anything

Maybe the Big Kahuna
was just feeling lonely

The Final Dissolution

These days keep bleeding together
Time is accelerating
Too many years gone
Loved ones moving on
Pain accumulates

Critical mass reached

Time for me to disintegrate

Load Bearing Peeps

These chains of obligation
we carry like beasts

Day after day
dragging our weighed down asses
up mountain steep
to do what must be done
for glory unseen

For there are no medals
to be awarded
on the hollow pedestal
of real life

At the end of the journey
after the task is complete
we can finally find respite
and rest our weary feet

Take a long sip of eternity
savoring the knowledge
we did our duty
