Slam Tell We Are All Shot

Grand Slam 
God Damn
What a Sham
Devoid of a Plan 

And who will be left to hold the Can
When we have shot everyone in the Foot
And none of us can walk to the well
To Tell
The Robots 

No 1 is listening anymore
We have reached an impasse 
The glass houses are imploding 
On the corrosion of self

The mirror's are stuck reflecting 
Mental health in skin so thin
Long passed caring 

Thanks for sharing 
My toe's are done curling 
The shedding thread
Caught between the window ledge
And garden hedge 
The blown washing 
Has come to rest
Trying to escape the slam 
Of every door that shut before 

Come what may
Letting up
Is not giving up
It is progress 

In costly 
Designer Dress
The Reflex
Of the Prefects
