Demented
Do you remember peace?
Hang the book by a thread,
to watch it revolve
around its axis.
There was a time
when I hungered for
the right to
Life
Choice
Water
Equality.
I don’t recall Peace...
There is this bird,
intent on breaking its neck
against the mirror.
Nobody sees me flapping these dark wings!
They refuse to burst! They refuse to show
people
the open doors to a vile
Purgatory.
Do you remember war?
Ah, what a good cause!
I watched their blood flowing down my legs,
as I birthed
freedom.
This gun is worth a fortune!
I shot after the hurricane
with bullets that spelled
‘evil!’
backwards.
I don’t remember the child,
no! No! I don’t!
This table feels lonely at times,
for all the things I don’t remember!
Allow me to grab that rabbit by the ears,
for it is too violent with the carrot!
Skin him! Skin him!
Oh, Hypocrisy, don’t hide your pretty face!
I do remember Freedom!
Chained,
they dragged their feet across the
barren utopia.
My God! Did I protect my seed!
Call the priest!
The lights are going out!
He closed the book on the moth!
There was this thunder that rendered
children
limbless.
Forgive the sinner who signed his name in blood!
Call the priest!
I think I see the light!
My eyes are growing dim...
