Scorpion, scorpion, who brought the pen The tip of its tail, the needles sharp end Poisonous dagger, To write all your wishes ****** soiled, bundled up tissues Issues and cashews and nuts Insanity. Rhinoceros, rhinoceros, have you the tusk The one on your nose, the jungled rough musk Broken and bleeding torn from your face Now beautiful laced girls Discover your pearls Thieves. Fathers and mothers, did you bring the child Shattered, broken, seen with both vile Bangs and pangs broken dishes, birds sang That night along with the screams Did you believe Destruction. Artist, artists, have you the pieces The ones of your life, sadness, defeation The black strokes, lonely tokes And pills and late sat to smoke What does it all mean, by life Uninspired. Dictators, dictators, did you bring your people The hobbled and squabbled, who prayed in the steeple Who hung from the rafters, and rang with the bells For whom it tolls, well, no one tells And lost citizens Vanish. Butterflies, butterflies, did you keep your promise Mottled, and bottled, spread across lawn mist To be beautiful, shiny with no varnish Your caterpillar state should not tarnish The wings you have now Growth. Children, children, did you steal the money For xanax, tricks, and acid, your'e funny Brain dead generation Same dread, memorization Of all the dead jokes Sad. Villagers, villagers, did you burn the witch The bloodied open stitch That tore the wound of the town And they all began to drown In truths they didn’t like Characters. Kitten, kitten, did you trick the boy Into finding your, mangled, ticked, body Squashed, splattered, with marks in your back Circled rocks, flowers, hit and smack The dirt down flat Betrayal. Conscience, conscience, did you make me feel that way For something I thought, for something I might not say For something I did, and something I am Why do you threaten Why do I listen shiver. Ghosts, ghosts, do you really terrify Blankets, and behind walls spy Sheets, and bags of treats You saw it all, naked Through the clear square wall, sacred Innocence. Creatures, creatures, you dwelled in the cave Red, glowing eyes. Blue burning rave You crawl out at night To get a good sight Of all of the people passed out drunk loneliness. Beware this place.

Beware, Beware
