Hypnotized

The things I’ve forgotten are watering the garden. I can tell by the way she’s walking he’s been talking to her. just like in a dream, where everything’s beautiful, And moving too slow. All the songs are sad, and the look in the eye says the minds are gone. In there brilliant disguises the people roll bye, painted faces in the hallway, and the children sparkle like stars.. The struggles are all the same, and so is the pain. The clowns play on tightropes, and the lion tamer gambles with his life. The lions, elephants, and monkeys go insane. The freaks are laughing, the crowd is clapping, but they don’t know why? painted faces in the hallway. The coward is caged in fear and beautiful. The soldier is hypnotized, he does not know he is the coward. The bombs don’t care, they only want to kill. “ who will they tax, when there’s no one left to kill? And the look in the eye says the minds are gone. Hypnotized!
