Book Of Shadows - I thank you child*


For showing misery in my street
Families burnin' in crappy hotels
Pitiless fulfilled duties,
I thank you child.

For exposing on my tv screen
White tents, red crosses, copper fragments
Suffering gets its own rainbow,
I thank you child.

For exhibiting forgotten grounds
Sun burnt, sterilized, orange-agentized,
War was in High Towers, Concrete Street,
I thank you child.

For letting us ignore your existence
We wouldn't forgive you your intrusion
On the playground we secure for our kids,
I thank you child.

For not dyin' in my arms, your mom preferin',
Not wasting on my sofa, dirt suits better your skin,
Not spitting in my soup, I never liked it runny,
I thank you child.



*and this is the last of the serie

Mireille,

I so enjoyed these poems.

Each and every one of them in fact.

This one is just so well done.

Tight and tragic yet somewhat redeemable.

I am a fan of your pen!

thanks,
andy

For some unknown reason, my lines tell the opposite to Zakk's lyrics.

Thank you Andy for enjoying.
