Spiteful & Malicious

Heatwave in their brains

By Moon DesertPublished 5 years ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read
Chaim Soutine "Carcass of Beef", circa 1925: www.newyorker.com

When stuffed minds

Are startin’ to kick out that

Shit of their heads

They’re often landin’ in a slaughterhouse

For educated minds

Only wonderin’ why

It happened again?

These accusations, abuse, annoyance

Playin’ with my faith like a football foul

Against my soul

And scarin’ me till I drop dead

Under this unruly world

Lookin’ like a piece of hell

Would fall down on me like a house of cards

Wrongfully built from the start

Oh, what is this life?

Without a peace of mind

Supposed to help me with all that

Bits and pieces to be put together

Security? Only a little

To abusers from A. C.’s crowd
