Limbo Tanks

People don't want to help people like us Thousands screaming In stillness and crowded minds Too pure a place for such a vacuum Locked in the limbo tanks Drugged like an animal for safety Only we go nowhere but inside Into another, still, lifeless room With other neatly stacked humans In pyjamas and iconic like toys Teddy bears like candy for company Child like screams, mad people's noise Mummies come to visit So classically british Ignorance seeps from every orafice She peels the patient's fruit.
