Journey

A knife penetrating through
My layers of sentinels
Mixes the poison 
With my blood
Terrorized, lobotomized
I tread the path
Scratching the doors
No one to open
Surrounded by rocks
Bound to be crushed
Vultures pick up the pieces
Spat in disgust
Not hard enough
Could I become


Hello

Nother round of fun at hospital.  I was x-rayed, y-rayed, cat-scanned, dog-
scanned, sun tanned, lobotomized, hypnotized, capitalized, cross eyes.  All copd 
and heart failure again.  no sleep 4-5 days.  didn't eat for 3.  just couldn't breathe.
c'est la' vie.  it's the way it is, and gotta grin and bear it.  Later'.

Premium Member Headless

Without a head 
There is no rudder 
Worth turning,
And this is the age of headlessness.
Not so much from the guillotine 
As from lobotomies
By schools and doctors, TV and social media,
Started when young from outside
But ultimately internalized
Into self-lobotomization.
This is the path of maturation today
Growing up to do what is required
To further the Greater Good
No need to even pretend to keep your head down
And eyes averted
When you have no head.
