Livinginoblivion
An abattoir of rotten meat
Necks rung as they were slaughtered
They loiter down a forgotten street
Dreams hung, drawn and quartered
Hookers stuck in bimbo limbo
Faceless faces, made up names
Hooked on drugs, stood akimbo
Wasted spaces, paraded shame
Toothless trolls lay in wait
As stagnant as the pool they hide
Ruthless souls engrained with hate
Only fragments residual inside
Crooked crooks left to languish
They drift as if in the gallows
Luckless looks bereft from anguish
As they shift amongst the shadows
Exiled from humanity
An island for the lost
Asylum for insanity
Where all the damned are tossed
