a poem by Joshua Brown
True to the self.
True to the Word.
True to the life
That demanded a
cure.
Lift up your heart.
And stare at their
faces
Shallow serpentine
creek
Eroding old places.
Indignant elders
Who dare question
the kings
Stupid old men
Who drifted from
places.
Learned at the skill
Of gaslighting boys
Raping their minds
With fucking old
mens toys
I saw the allure
Of the ghostly
surrender
To the will of the
genes
Sweet Saturdays
bender
They broke their own
will
With the choices
they made
They sold out their
soul
The bill must be
paid.
