Blood city

The doctor said: your blood is weak,

I said I keep on spilling it

He nodded twice as if he knew

Yet he didn’t

Doctors rely on what is seen

and You aren’t …

My mother said you lost your head

What can I do my heart’s a maze

I try to think like all others

But all I do is sing for days

I try to finish what I start

I rarely fall, but fall apart

You say you love all that I do

But all I do is kiss and part …

All those deemed sane say I am a fool

And all of the fools say not enough!

I do not work to feel secure

I do not cheat and simply laugh

Right in between, the line is thin

I seem to live vastly within …

You say you want to keep me close

I fear you want to cage me in

This city smells of blood so cheap

It has one God but a billion sheep

Who in his name will fight and kill

Will never drink, but love a pill

They say why not come now and pray

I think why not get down and weep

The doctor said your skin is pale

I think I hear a child crying

“I am feeling fine “ I loudly say

I think I just started lying …
