Our crime is love,
our fate is murder;
...look into my eyes, my partner in crime
and we shall gravely rot together.
Two fugitives, in time
separated for our lives;
our hearts, a distant murmur
...barely cried;
but my dearest Molly Judith,
I shall be your grave;
...and serve this deadly sentence on my own.
For every morning, I awake;
from dreams of you
...and knowing you,
wondering what’s a dream,
unable to discern
...the harsh realities
of this punishment called our lives;
If I survive,..
I will be the forever beacon to our love;
our crime against humanity,
our defying of reality,
our great rebellion;
...to be ourselves.
In the eyes of my partner in crime,
in the heart which beats my flame
where synchronous are our souls,
gleaming in the dark light,
where none can see that flame no more,
I feel the bars pressed against me,
knowing that ultimate punishment,
with a bullet in my brain,
I’m trapped within my mind;
our heart,
our greatest crime;
...our fate is murder.

Molly Judith Olgin and Mary Christine Chapa, *both 15* were shot through the head.
Their crime? Love.
We dwell in flesh a cage, a morbid prison stagnant;
...vile to the touch and perforated,
extended drawn out years,
...decaying.
A brief existence, a blip in absent time;
which fills eternity
...and suffocates
the wasted moments.
We live in fabrication; artificial fragment dreams,
the fall of our creation, our minds;
...our vehicles of imagination;
disappeared.
We are the canvas wet with paint without an artist.
We are the notes without a song.
We are the story book without an ending.
...The worst comic every drawn.
A segregated birth of pain,
a line of border harbored hate;
the living room is dimly lit and none aware the bulbs are dying.
Will the monkeys venture forth in search of kindling
before the fire’s gone?
...Or will the void nocturne conjure light
in the night eyes of natural selection?
Personification of pain, hear my name.
you torment me.
Your vile presence haunts me, and it makes my heart aflame.
I dream of escaping into soothing rain, but those are simple dreams.
Personification of pain, hear my name.
It’s calling.
A word if nothing more, has meaning to the ears;
where symbols are much more then screams
...and the wind’s howl is more then sound.
Personification of pain, hear my name.
From the distance,
where light my jowl, the sunshine air,
the scowl I wear,
is what you gave me.
A present of torment;
a badge of pain
...I’m bleeding.
Where heark thee summer through the effervescent wind, and hiding;
where heark thee? Your formless form -- your vapor
where hides the wind your presence?
I saunter holding hands, oh rain clouds. Where do your spirits roam?
Where lurk your coolness? In the final missive of your eve,
I’m waiting, dreaming afore.
Where heark thee summer? Through the brambles I can feel no heat nor burning
yet the flames surround me vast. Where drifts your presence through seven seas,
where hides that shade that heals the pain? I can do no more but wait another summer.
I think we should take out our pocket books collectively,
"Pocket Book Democracy" we shriek in the cold night air,
just before our realization of futility was exposed.
"Pocket Book Democracy" it echoes through the vacuum of the night,
where none are listening, where many are pondering
where they should throw their pocket books to burn.
"Pocket Book Democracy" a sham catastrophe,
a supermarket supreme, where all the lobbyists go to buy their policies.
And all the politicians lined up cheap, *no admittance* says the sign, there's a fee and minimum salary
...required.
"Pocket Book Democracy" and what's the point of living?
Knowing you will never have a say in how you live.
Have no money, have no dreams
...and bow before your masters and their pocket books;
collectively,
the new indentured slavery,
we are the serfs!
"Pocket Book Democracy" We shriek into the cold dead night,
the wasteland ruins that once were hope and life before us
like a canvas skewed with mud, a painting ruined
a civilization stunned,
"Pocket Book Democracy" we mutter, "democracy; there is none."
I think we should take out our pocket books collectively,
"Pocket Book Democracy" we shriek as the wallets burn.
We do not need them anymore, there's a minimum salary requirement
...and after the wallets;
it's our turn.
