Smoke
Barbed wire 'n bullets raked through a mind
Of sheer brilliance and beauty that's just been so blind
Why, oh why, does this torture keep true
Go feed on a mind with much less value!
You’re twisted and vile, these dreams aren’t your host
It’s the cruelest to thrive on the things He loves most
Every memory stored and filed away
Long ago forgotten and meant to be that way
But the needles keep pricking at the shaded corridors
The rooms and black boxes kept behind closed doors
The wire coils, constricting anything it can
Comforts to cling to or faces of Man
Ripping apart every blissful blockade
Built up in the moment like some cheap charade
Naturally, too, the bullets rip through
Roaring mightily through the smoke He blew
But it’s not enough to destroy it all
Oh! Take a step back! Watch the Man fall!
A free ride to another mind’s hospitality
Pouring out one mind, one fatality
