Affliction

-AFFLICTION- My poverty drove a Ferrari My monkey rode a horse Bad luck was hitch-hiking Overtaken by a Porschè Slamdunk my face with dishes in the sink Screamed so loud at nothing pulling faces in the dark Walking with a white cane Talking with The White Man Unseen, unheard, so I did not have to think Obscene, blackbird ,singing like a lark Broken semi quaver Swimming in the river Reasoning with know-alls Confusion is an eight ball What youre not going tell the man Is the something you can not say Plastic horses returning on a rotating carousel My transgressions stay in rehab My anger burns in hell Bland stupidity clings to me O hear that urgent summons! Tolling in the valley Such a sacrificial bell
