Psychosis

by lindisa-mathabela-1

We're all mad here. Surviving dead Blood thirsty creatures Silvers and golds Notes and cards. Screeching screams in the night Wolves silenced by the frowning moon Yelling children Drunken fathers Thieves of innocence Food that cannot be eaten Metal to metal Guns n' gangs Hunger Poverty Murder Rage. Creeping Stalking Taking killing Creatures locked in prison cells Creatures lurk, disguised in disguise Turf wars Wolf in wolf's fur that fails to fit Fits Slits Titbits Pistol whips and Quick tips Trenchtowns Slums Poor millionaire Plural. Misoverstandings; Understandings, we'll call them. Look down Sit down Shut down Lay down Sign out. Credit checks and barcodes Exploitation Infusion Confusion Institutions Misuse Abuse Abstruse Man's soul misplaced And His eyes His hands His heart His love His peace His life Alike.
