Unborn Laughter

They who pretended to have known love, 
without fear and shameless to the sight of my God 
have grounded me, not for weeks, not for months, but
ahh, who knows? what’ll come next, into their mind!

At this moment of time, I now huddle 
in the pangs of solitariness, d’you know?
I’m hapless and sad, makes me sick. And, I hardly 
concentrate nor think anything good, about them.  

O this terrible, heinous crime 
that’ll happen, gnaws my soul
for I am sure, I felt it, I can command the air 
that they breathe, with so much laughter--- 

Damn, how could I not have known!? But, I heard well 
the sound of love and endless swearing, to give me 
the best in life, a future, yet my folks have killed me 
without mercy, cutting my link to the outside world.
