“Peculiar Pending Disaster”
Peculiar pending disaster
waiting in the flanks until after
after the fact is over and done with
to slit her throat so silently
and silence her voice in the night
she struggles with all her might
fights the hand that holds her down
they wont let her gather her breath to scream
not a final plea of something like mercy
her voice box was taken out by a drunken surgeon
and then fed to the rabid dogs and pre-recorded
stating that she had lied and took back all the things
she had said and stood for in the past few years
now her bloody body that cannot scream is drenched in nightmares
she cannot get back all the dreams she built up from the ground
they have all been thrown in the pile with the books they don’t
they don’t understand a word that is written down by a tortured mind
tortured by their own hands grasping the blade
they clean house and cleanse their hands afterwards
making sure the evidence of free thought is killed as well
don’t leave a trace for their children to follow
follow follow follow at your own risk
this path is littered with tripwires and booby traps
set to decimate the weary travelers as they pass
peculiar pending disaster
waiting in the crowd until after
after the concert is over and the freethinkers pour out
to slit their throats silently
and silence our voices in the night
silence our voices in the night………
