The Land I Once Paid A Fortune For
I am taking some time to organize my comic book collection so have not been here in a few days. Believe me, it is a labor of love but still a labor so I will leave this for a chew toy for y'all. Peace
THE LAND I ONCE PAID A FORTUNE FOR
6/13/2026
The land is not fertile
things come to die here
it is on the owners
the oxygen is depleted
by those of heavy usage,
I own a small plot of land
and my wares-tho plenty
many refuse.
So i beg at the doorstep
a proud man once
now just a street corner hustler
with little to none.
Renown eludes me
fame deludes me
I have stepped on rocks
once smooth as friends
now jagged and cutting
Still..
It's just living pain.
We have become intimate
this pain and I
more a friend than any past friend can vie.
So I sow my land
with my one best friend
and the things I reap
comfort me in the end.
Perhaps from the pain
but just understand
They are mine
my dreams
and my thoughts
and to me
this land is everything
with pain dearly bought.
Peace
