Double Dose of Reality
Crack-ed craniums, splintered personalities
Neural pathway of coping escape
led to a padded place for shattered identities
Disposable souls, which fell thru the cracks,
became ill weeds of society —
Concrete tares of bipolarity
They took the sweet powdered poison
to counteract the bitter, enamel poison
Given a double dose of reality,
powerful mixture of medicinal tears
and venomous spittle toxin
Crack-ed heads feel the gavel force
of the baton hard bosoms
Rx prescription labeled: Menace to society!
Judicial pathway to incarceration,
it leads to a padlock place of moral paucity
Addicted to the cellular disconnect quick fix;
the hallucinatory solution
is bar code,
ethnic substance controlled writ scrip
And as those hard hearts palpitate
to the crack-ling sound
of the spiking high conviction rate
Place that razor blade conscience
on an arrest collection plate,
and parcel mercy
Package it with
profiteer consideration
Case closed on another skull crack-ed;
put a penitentiary bandage on that open wound,
head trauma years of degradation
Take this double dose of reality,
and inhale the pipe dream of an aloof nation
Give a stitched number name to the next gurney-strapped person,
subject to haphazard fits of vial mood alteration
Put them in a concrete compound, (where puffed hope is err gone)
with the other wards of mental experimentation
Ayes bear witness to the mad, doctored conclusion:
A lab rat, paper maze demise,
brought by guinea pig desires —
Cash cage scruples exhaled by the lords of illusion
