Anguish In the Rain

Anguish in the Rain A dream coming towards true manifestation A scream from the north of my past life commiserations My spleen venting forth through my expressive incantations A green man distorts the inter-planetary visitations Capitalist nightmares and human rights violations Contortionist cartoonists and contrite salutations An eccentric hot air balloonist with too many invitations An inventive scientist marooned on the edges of an opium plantation Vaccinations that cure, protect, paralyse and maim How can this be a world where it’s possible to stay sane ? Who at the very core and top will stand up and take the blame? When it comes time to admit it and call out their names Proof of the burdened a heavy load to carry Sleuth of the words and the age you see fit to marry Truth that’s absurd that encourages one to not tarry A prince that’s disturbed- let’s not mention Harry Fortune requiring a kingdom of heaven waiting More tunes acquiring the excitement of children anticipating White full moons desiring into astronomy participating A bride at high noon retiring before the groom starts celebrating ThetMongolian Empire conquering all that you know A sure remand of prisoners waiting on death row A crude demand on limitations of perspectives of the masses A blatant reprimand on an adolescent out of place like a fascist Retribution for a heinous crime Institutions of grief and melancholy and time Constitutions of relief and the universal mind Elocutions of belief that express the divine An utterance of regret as the pain becomes unbearable A stutter I’d forget if my jacket was wearable The nuclear aftermath of life in Chernobyl The sum of the whole of the parts all in total
