V isn’t for victory
but for violence
And deadly it would be
Club V
became the stage for
another young life
taken to the skies
Can you imagine?
When he pulled out his gun
seconds later, another death story
would be told
to thousands of RedEye readers
and not a tear would shed
just the casual turn of the page
to another story
when will we begin to value
the life of another, my brothers?

In a close distance
Observation lies obsessed
With dancing futuristic fantasies
Of how life could be
Walking peacefully
Down a bitter winter street
Wrapped in the warmth of loveliness
No drama served
Only soft kisses
And two-mile a hour finger trials
Along the back of your neck
The kind that would make ice cream scream
And all the M&M’s would blush with envy
Closing their eyes in imitation
And through observation
Revelation came
Hand delivered what tomorrow would look like
Like yesterday
And yesterday before
And rhythm repeated itself
Like heartbeats and seasons
Without reason
You would wake up to I love yous
This is the gift I possess
In a close distance
Somewhere Between Here and GOD – Eric P. Martin Copyright 2009
Somewhere between here
And GOD
Someone will die
Violently without reason
And children will weep for mama
Somewhere between here
And GOD
A woman loses her innocence
To unwanted strangers
And induces seeds of bitterness
Somewhere between here
And GOD
Countless men and women
Are swaggering with smiles
Underneath brewing mistrust and hatred
Somewhere between here
And GOD
Love hides
Truth sits patiently
And wisdom waits for lost souls
