Disclaimers

Things we used to be

Or rather that which we are still

We as in I

I as in you

You as in me

 

Just a pair of eyes

Disembodied, disinherited

Then a word or two

Spoken uncertainly, with imperfect diction

Next came a body coated matte

Appearance totally flat

A reprisal of the reeling mind

Discontented, self remarked

Struck like fells of flak shells

Wrack

 

Emotive motion to inhale pain pill smoke

Foiled

Spoiled through imparts of ignorance

Palette saturated, severance pre-packed

Wheeze ever

A bio beat box, palpitate off tempo

Disharmony collate

Chaos culture, we the cancer self-castrating earth

Bastardized with sickly sounding mirth

Loudest, proudest, irreverent

Disclaimers

Naked

Reclamation

The origin known as nature
