Poem: I Quit by Tpage Flaminton

From the Errors and mistakes of life,
I quit!
From the falacies and fantacies of youngmanhood,
I Quit!


Now I return to my old good self
When I long and seek for righteousness itself
When my good works wee done in wills of self
Then my own heaven I make myself

Have you ever felt so lonely in doom?
When you feel so swept away with broom
When you sit down and see an empty room
Like the shadows without a body?

That awkward moment,
When your closest friend a foe become
That shameful moment
When you are being lashed in the market place

Have you ever tasted the grieve?
The little kids woo and sing to you
Have you been set to nothingness?
When all you do is plea for forgiveness?

This is not the man i wished to be
This is not the room i wished to lay
This is not the path i wished to walk
This is not the me i used to be!!

The prison house a home I Quit!
The hard labor an employment I Quit!
The junk meal a food I QUit!
The Lashes and strokes of Cain I Quuit!

Bring me Home I Plead
Give me a barb I Plead
In a water of peal a bath I Plead
My old good self i cry, Now i Quit!!
