Inner City
by James Shammas (Age: 44)
copyright 07-07-2005


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Inner City--
chained and splayed on a tray of dope.
I'm it--
Your dope--
crouching,
hanging
from the caverns of the mind
dripping down its side,
acid dripping,
peeling,
blistering,
denuding skin of the mind,
raw white marrow bone of the soul--
yours and mine.

Flayed brain--
aphasic train of thought it came
chugging down the tracks,
derailed,
derailed--
heard it smack--
Watch the tracks!
The third rail,
trailing on happy trails, and on...

...floating freely,
whispered wisps of
cloying clouds
raining red
over screaming entrails,
reek-warmed in the summer sun--
oozing succulent,
the buzzing buzzards bloating over
charmed, discarded laughing carcass!
-- Alas!
-- Charred in purgatorial fire!

Burning, burning bright,
brother bums in slums take flight!--
We, flying through the night,
inner city of the mind ignites,

Oh, Crown of flaming hope in sight!

The drugs are an escape, but what they don't realize is that they are escaping life not just problems. You have written this well and I almost felt the delusion you have described. Anthony

There's no hope in sight here! These are snap shots of a crumbling society, another, "Human Waste," by Walter Jones, so to speak! I hope we can come out of this drug-infested inferno that so many people succumb to. Good wake-up call!
