LIVES

 

I am alive…

For I hear

The sound of the machine gun wake me up

I know I am alive

Pummeled by the fear of my insanity

Eternity of affliction

Cold infirmity

The diseases of the mind sets in slowly

Thinning into my face like a cold fridge

Long ridges of terror lap at me

The time for the dirge is now on

Alarm bell rings

The gongs of the past have disheveled

Heavily levied by tongs of machines

Disorder is the natural order of matter

 

I am alive…

The sun bows no more

She has not the power anymore

Shadows of mankind have hewn her to tiny slices

Butter of blood and bones and excuses

Lurid war exercises

Barter trade of human emotion

I hear a woman die

Booted feet kicking her like dice

 A child screams

A bomb rips her to a cream

I am alive…

I am alive…
