    Poem Commentary

    well it is what it is and thats it

    TICK TOCK

     i've been watching you with two blind eyes

    listening to their cries that fall upon my deaf ears

    i feel their pain through my paralized limbs

    i am a prisoner in this so called land of the free

    i walk amongst the dead who believe their living

    i curse my fathers name in vain outloud

    while in silence i beg for His forgiveness

    i hold onto hope and faith knowing it's alll i have left

    i work hand to mouth for a woman who left me long ago

    they say promise is a comfort to a fool i am the idiot

    i reminsce on what was and loose focus on what is

    i am infected with a virus that plagued my common sense

    time keeps ticking but my life stands still

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
