short poem
Hey, this is just a poem I felt like writing one of the last times I smoked:
Has it gotten to you?
the smell of burning flesh inside
the house that reaks of do-or-die
does it get to you?
The sobbing mother with unborn child
whose dead-and-gone when all's said-and-done
the watchful eye of father and child
stare at the creature brought in from the wild
have they gotten to you?
when you dare to stare to the unknown
inch your toe to the edge then run back home
has it gotten to you?
a shot to the head, one step and your dead
when the life that you've led contradicts what you've said
and we're all seeing red
has it gotten to you?
