Ode To Victims
Impressions and confessions are a dangerous deal, after a slap across the face
and an ice-cold meal. Johnny was a sick little lonely sad boy, his mom pulled his
hair and his dad broke his toys. Johnny would cry and kick and scream, until the
night came to him with a painful, bad dream. His tears evaporated up into his
brain making the light turn to dark and the membrane insane. A complimentary
platter of cannonball dreams, melting the matter to vomit and the vomit to
screams. Johnny did die a painful sad death and his parents showed sorrow
with conveyors of meth. A dove he was in an over looking tree, in search of
nutrition and a place to be. He took all the beatings and rose after each shove,
but why couldn't this child experience some love? Sanity? Insanity? Brothers of
battered and bitter scars, attempt to reconcile through the murky, old stars. A
show has begun amongst razorblade tongues, with gasoline drinks and tunes
over sung. Time is short and the show must continue, so lets tighten our belts
and feast upon sinew. Snow falls and cows turn blue, now if only I was sane this
dream may be true. I question my ability to think and produce, my minds in the
gutter, wrapped in sanity's noose. So lets furnish our glasses up to the rim, for
sanity has lost, since his brother butchered him. Victims’ run the show and savor
purloined blood, while they mimic its flow with a statue of mud. They scream at
the laughter that bellows from their lungs, like the roofing mans calling on a
ladder lacking rungs. It's the victims’ turn for a voice and a say in it all, it's the
victims’ turn for a scream, before they die from the fall. Burning down houses and
stealing rich blood, it's the perps turn to fall into the depths of dense mud.
