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
