Only 7 words but I'm sure my emotion was captured perfectly.
Day 52
Glass
Well what shall I try and shatter tonight
As I have a thirst for booze
That's arising up with might?
Hopefully no kitchenware will be casualties
Due to my weekly insanities
But I suppose if they are
Tescos isn't all that far
You did that????Better than leaving the cake out in the rain, I guess.
Day 71
Dissociate
Out of body
Out of time
Brain switched off
For a while
Not feeling
Not thinking
Just floating
Outside self
Can't hear
Can't listen
Can't remember
Can't decide
When I'm dissociated
Cut off without warning
Feel myself slipping this morning
With the news of the crews
Getting tear gassed and shot
I don't know how you lot
Carry on and stay sane
When my brain can't contain
The pain that it brokers to hear
The police have turned into soldiers
How come the panic and fear doesn't phase
You while they tase innocent people
Who is still indoors watching atrocity
Does their conscience feel this civil monstrosity
Do you feel the boys in blue
Are doing right by you
As they run like a mob into crowds
Making children cry and blacks die
Complete fucking chaos on your streets
As most lie ignorant under their sheets
This civil unrest terrifies
So my body shuts down
The switch gets flipped
Stressed into numbness
Staring at a wall, a fence
No awareness. I can't face it
A leadership complacent
No rousing speech
No fucks given
Let the police govern
Without authority or oversight
Your people aren't free
They're in a state of fright
An orange babboon sits atop a throne
Ranting about Twitter
You elected this sociopathic drone
And now the people have had it
They're sick on the left
And they're sick on the right
Enough hatred going around
It's boiled into a national fight
With the national guard
The army called to arms
The police policing themselves
And who is left to respect your rights?
You've got curfews now
For how many nights?
Who is calling the shots
While the far right plots
To sabotage a movement
To reign supreme
With theit spray tan chief
Who protects their belief
Of being right, right, right
While people fear for their lives
They go out and fight, fight, fight
But blame China for the crisis
That the past four years caused
Not Putin and capitalist claws
You've run amok into the ground
Who is speaking out for truth
Who has morals left untarnished
In this joke democracy turned demagogy
I can't help, I'm helpless
Watching the news through a lens
Feeling pangs in my heart
From across a giant ocean
So my brain will switch off
And freeze
Before it gets broken
Been wondering how you doin pacofelt this one from across the void and had to make a mention!
cheers, D ⚘
Been wondering how you doin paco
Well it's not much but Im glad it was something of a takeaway for you. It's scary shit. I'm so sorry for what's unfoldingi've been overwhelmed lately. working extra long hours on the farms to avoid social distancing, curfews, police, soldiers, etc.
just too exhausted to relax, but the day i lurk i find this fresh gem,.. thank you!
