Hidden Truths

sober hidden truths. 
 the dragon once again loose, 
 hot series of memories. 
 slapped into reality, 
 suddenly came true. 
 not in me I have only you. 
 living In a cave, 
 the pole beaten and used 
 threw a hole I engaged 
 the mind altering page. 
 constantly being beaten by the man, 
 poured into silence. 
 left that entire world in his cave. 
 stood up with the men and drank. 
 pulled off his belt he wailed, 
 he has taken away ? 
 taken away! innocents, 
 "he was only a stranger at home" 
 separate lives now condoned!
