I disengaged at every cost
Of endearing nature
And persuaded myself
That my structure seemed disregarding
To the nature of Empathy
And what differentiated Earned-Respect
And withered onto weak whiteheads
As if it didn’t grow from the blackened mamba
And every tooth was a hammerhead
Origin-story
And each told the tale of
‘I’ll start a’ new
And I avoided
Factual evidence that fractured
Every memory
And distant reflection
And by 8 unto 2
My broken learning speakers have unwrapped its invisible aural mummification
And I saw dead lives at risks
To share a new story to a generation
Of: they stopped thinking it was so damn
-horrific
-scary
-terrible
I don’t watch movies to have my own waking
Dreams become some transitional memento
To the fact I chew to eat
Something waking-new
Everyday even
If I stockpile
And sit – on – coupons.
