     Dismal               4/04/02



This life is hard,

trapped like a rat
in the front yard
of the maze,

this purple haze
got my stress on delay
for the moment
flowing through thoughts
of survival
life is messed up like family rivals;

stuck with crazy potential,

strong mental
can't any temptation route my principals,

not even the devil
can change my brain,

survived shotguns
blazed in the jungle
aimed directly
at my 6'6 frame
trying to cause my blood drain
life congested with hard rain
wet from perspiration
when I wake at night,

visions of dead souls
flying into heaven's gates
contemplating my flow
devils constantly knocking at my chamber door,

not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin;

daily repent for my sins,
then drift again lost
inside my pain
wishing I could stop
betraying the grain;

caught behind the enemy lines
mentally confined;

barbwire 15ft. and higher
dogs scattered throughout the premises
what happened to my family and friends,

blocked out
when you are locked up
inside the human shell
trapped in my own hades
no escape visible
wanna stop feeling less than a reciprocal,

...things looking dismal
