Stones

The scene is of a damaged car, stained with blood attracting people who gather to form a long cord help is urgently needed but the hearts of men are bored acting like the victim has been banned by God the only response is a rush of snapshots on the Ford. Skimpy and on high heels, so obvious is this beauty who passes through a gang with minds so dirty whistles and smacking- young boys in full blown banditry she resists, but on her body, they begin a party her hard-fought escape finally comes through, but void of pity. A letter is dropped in front of 542 on a beautiful day from 543 comes this grandma who reads it in foul play she peeps through her intruding window- oh no way! Tears the entire envelope and in the nearest bin the pieces lay she hurries back to 543 after condemning her neighbour's pay. A city without compassion, people acting as drones humanity is hurt, the heart is replaced with bones robbing peter to kill Paul, extending same to Jones connectivity only existing between gadgets and phones humans don't live here, it is a town full of stones.

So many echoes, of so many placebo Reality's Funom, that push to no good End against people's pursuing viable Lifestyles, but the beginning of new life Will come, as a thief in the night ' satan Will find many intended victims gone.'

Dark with great use of stones as a metaphor, Funom:)
