IM MAD


I’m mad 
I’ll make you half

Tight with the butchers

I’m glad
It’s all too bad

About your futures

It’s like that
If you gotta have

Dead suits in money

I’m sad
It’s all we had

I wish I was buried

We become
The evening dung

From the worms

Eternal ghetto
Let me go

I’m just an intern

Journalist
On the witness list

One more dead sailor

The government
The jury sent

Killed 1000 soldiers

Mama said
Let’s wash the dead 

And ruin the sewer

I’m mad
Like a Snapping crab

Slashing in the manure

Dead stories
Dead mornings

Warnings in blank pages

My eyes
Our minds

Its evolution raging

I’m happy
To have you lap me

I’m the one in jeans

One day
Under the hay

The bear met his means

The cages
Are like stages

Intimate ridicule 

The patrons
Are mistaken

Broken is the mule

I’m glad
The bag that

Holds you is strong

It’s a secret
Time reaping

The shape of stone
