Jack-O-Lantern

It feels like they carved up my insides with one of those stupid pumpkin scoops, And cut me into what they think I should be They stick an LED light in To keep me bright and to cover the empty they left To hide my mutilated insides So they don't have to face up to what they've done I'm a Jack-o-lantern of modern society With a permanent smile And dead eyes With raw shredded guts And the knowledge I'm not whole.
