Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Tristich

Notes About The Poem

- Defenseless -

Defenseless and drained of power
The reason is simple, you are a victim
an emotionless being without a heart

Hell is the snake in the room no one talks about
brainwashed lackey  - screaming silence
- suppresses me with waves of steam

Missing a guardian angel
They find the hammer very quickly
aggressive enemy, a threat

The street has its own laws
the world is still full of shades and gray zones
Without shell protection, a defenseless turtle
