Demented

Demented World

Colonization upon our nation of slaughter

Bloody rivers, of our lost fallen fathers

Imprisonment exists, so check your neck for your collar

This is our world, and our corruption is dollars

We’re searching for the answers, but for within our wallets

Printed presidents are burning a hole in our pockets

And a little bit of weed, to unlock what’s beneath

Is only experienced through us dodging police

Clouded, powdered noses; A life only chosen

It’s parallel thorns pricking fingers on roses

Defiance of a higher; programmed, wired

Authority’s contradiction on what’s been written on squires

It’s a corruption of destruction, so hold the hand of your family

And hear the blistering, whistling, that’s truth of humanity

Corruption, destruction; The hand of your family

And the blistering whistling that’s the truth of humanity

I can’t believe, we have to see…

We have to see these dangers

Demented is me, within my dreams

As my passion angers

For the child

The anger cries…

Youth can’t arise

In a world of demented lies

Contemplating eyes, arise shelter for the homeless

Losing focus, from the interfering flying locusts

That relegate and pressure

Until more becomes lesser

And the dead shells on the ground elevate and pester

Within the mind of the dying, and only in time

Will a beaten soul arise, and re-climb

Unto the top of the subject

“The lust when you undress…

Peels the skin from the bone, exposing the loveless.”

And the stress is just a test, crazy and obsessed

Beneath fluent minds…humanity is possessed

For alcoholic causes, the ignorance fallen

Almost relevant to a life that never stops, but just pauses

Almost relevant to a mind that doesn’t think that it’s able

To shuffle the hand that’s been placed upon the table

Just dreaming up existence that seems forever missing

With nothing to show, but the cries of our children!

I can’t believe, we have to see

We have to see these dangers

Demented is me, within my dreams

As my passion angers

For the child

The anger cries…

Youth can’t arise

In a world of demented lies

Hold your golden child, it’s almost over now

Cling to your golden child, it’s almost over now

Let me give you a little bit of history

It means for one time, I need you listening

We’re living by the law of protect and serve…

Us papers. For vapors, where nothing is pure but haters

At the strong arm of the law

Jurisdiction to the system has been seen before

Repeated lies, arise self-contradiction

A groundhog day

Surreal life repetition

 Of Society!!

So many are following

We’re all just a number, another human is swallowing

In which I realize, there is not one right government system

They got a gun in your face, and their finger keeps itching…

I can’t believe, we have to see…

We have to see these dangers

Demented is me, within my dreams

As my passion angers

For the child

The anger cries…

Youth can’t arise

In a world of demented lies

I had actually tried to comment on this poem a few days ago. Then writers cafe went down right before I submitted my review. This was an excellent piece and well penned. I enjoyed reading it.

Although I think there is a lot of wisdom and reality combined in the poem, I did feel it was more along the lines of a rap song, written poetry-style.

[Ladysue]

A very strong and powerful write. You said so much in here. It flowed well. It is a very sad piece, but you expressed it very well.

[OutToLunch]

it's really good, strong and emotional, just the way i like it!

[Christen Rose]

woah. touching. as a youth in this "demented world" I completely understand. this was deep and completely captured my attention. again, your style of writing seems lyrical, and I love it. I could almost hear this piece set to dark ominous chords and throbbing rock music. inspiring, truly.

[Zaila]

Did you... I mean. DId you really just refer to "Groundhog Day" as in the movie there? I'm pretty sure you did. Lol. It wouldn't fit the other way. I like it. The whole poem, though deep and threw a lot of ideas at you, was very powerful. It's a bit of a rant yes. But that's the point it appears. It works.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

This was quite a demented rant! lol It's bad idea to travel with your weed these days ( just ask Willie Nelson or Ron White) and cocaine was a gift from a Peruvian Indian Chief to the Spanish, they said, " Chief, what is this white powder?" The chief replied, " That is our little gift to the bearded white men...for what they did to us...they take our land, we give them monkey for their back!" lol And yeah, governments and politicians are corrupt with power and greed, that's what got Julius Caesar stabbed to death by his own cabinet. People need to think for themselves instead of blindly trusting everything they hear. That is the bottom line and the big problem if you ask me. From religious zealots to left-wing, right-wing politics...you've got to learn to see through the shuck and follow the money trail to find the truth. And there's always a money trail..be it from drug smugglers or terrorists, new mesiahs or old ones. Like the fellow said, " The love of money is the root of all sorts of evils." Great job on this.

Much to impede from a piece
packed with so much emotions
through it all, brought the reader to the demise
as it surfaces to the mind of readers, corral the mind with
it's quite the vigorous piece!
