A Dream's Nightmare On Reality's Touch

"A dream's nightmare of reality's touch"

Cancer tore my family apart, took away my sanity now l am forever angry.

Raped at thirteen by a man l knew as father, one who chased away my brother because he was mother's.

A life of needles and impaired judgment, lost by the subway of disaster, all my friends victims of genocide.

It's a complicated, cruel, cunning and cold life. A very, very u fair game, only him who gave life to us knows better....

Curse the viper polluting the skies, the only thing l can do through it all is to close NY eyes and ask for strength to make it through the night.
