Back to the Future
The cockroaches scurried across the floor
What, she told herself, is there, more
Must we marry for circumstance
Or give love a chance
Love is always put aside
For expensive things and a fancy ride
What life can be lived so long
Side by side with someone so wrong
Today it's the same
Grasping for borrowed fame
When will we open our eyes
Touch hearts and stop all trace of lies
We'll say things we really mean
Go back to nature, bodies lean
Thunder and lightning may erupt but not scare
Naked dancing while unaware
The vermin may forever crawl our floors
But together we do our chores
To love as time started
Before hate, power, greed and shallow waters had us parted.

About this poem:
It's amazing that I've been so inspired to write poetry lately when I'm in such a hurry to get artwork done lol But have been watching Jane Austen movies lately...
Compared to how screwed up love was back then, when all that mattered in the most part, was a man or woman's fortune...
While today is the way they look, and how skinny they've become, or how emptily famous. We haven't changed, not really. I'd love if all went back before fame, fortune and air brushed playboy models made impressions on our world wide cultures...
I'd like to go back there, when a man would look at a woman and simply love. Not because she had money or could fit into a size 2, but because she was simply...herself.
And vice versa...so I've decided not to let myself accept anything less.
