Where do words go when they enter me?
From your angry mouth you let them rip
They fragment, break to glass, and poetry
Take my words or miss, you cannot see
The struggling rise, the unfelt dangerous slip
Where do those remote words enter me?
The pointed shards of glass cut memory
The bleeding feeds the vampires of your lips
They violate, they slice the poetry
Our leader hopes to mock democracy
Calls for riots or death but not his whips
What dark words have slid in , raping me?
Now the old don’t recall dignity
The writers toast them with a stinging quip
They utilise, they mince my poetry
As the toxic liquids we will sip
Will the islands of our minds unite or rip?
Where do words go from my ears to me?
They fragment , needle , hurt to poetry
