Canvas

I look at the canvas that is my life,

multi - media interpretation and inspiration,

the sound of the paint drying keeping me awake,

as the renaissance of youth passes me by,

and the industrialism of the CPU,

leaves me hanging without a clue,

got no time for family or a wife,

already married to a multi - national corporation,

fighting for recognition, only a life at stake.

But who the hell really cares,

ask the question of anyone,

all you get is blank stares,

as it all goes into oblivion.

I have been the rural country boy,

and watched suburbia treat is as a toy.

I see my surreal teenage years,

blur by in a drug induced haze,

grand masters in a carpet design,

old lovers, heartbreak and tears,

the stepping stones for lost days,

the odd tornado with hazy sunshine.
