Apple Pie

a poem by Joshua Brown

Fucking little demons

Why do they torment me

When I wake up to sun

They survive the night

They will to live beyond

Their demented parents

I will to live and childlike

The video game wander

Creeps me the fuck out

As I see women ungrown

Behold the world sin

Against their own eye

These pretend violence

In holy war pyre raised

Angry demons scripted

A nuclear family 

A nuclear reaction

Atom splitting free 

There was no father

For to have a father

Was to be murdered

The sea swallowed

As the Virgin Mary

Cried out in Greek

This is not a drill

No bombs just abandon

Script rejected to desert

Choices made by man

Who refuses to choose

Or perceive choice yet

By women

And we watch quietly

As we shout angrily

Camouflaging humanity

In demonic profanity

Reeing against power

Thanks for reading "Apple Pie" which I really enjoyed writing. If you liked it you can also check out my last poem "Ghost to the State" which is secretly a critique of Republicanism and identity. Just kidding. It is about my experience with suicidal ideation.

I post my photography on Instagram and Pexels.

When I was younger, I produced several piano solo albums which are now on Spotify.

And recently I have been trying out Minds.com mostly to post my relatively infrequent stream of consciousness journaling.
