Insane Asylum

Tap tap tap tap
Shoes walking down the hall.
Two people walk
And one begins to talk
The rights still stand
As they always have in America.
 
 
Pushed into a cell
Nothing’s going well
For the fifteen year old
As he’s locked behind bars
For taking someone’s life.
 
 
Smash smah rattle rattle
Go the bars in the fifteen year old’s hands.
Scream scream
No one can hear him scream.
For they choose to ignore him.
But from down the hall,
He hears a familiar call,
By the one called the prison guard.
 
 
Tap tap tap tap
Shoes walking down the hall.
Coming around the corner
Two voices are heard.
One is the old guard
The other dressed like an orange.
 
 
Slam click.
Now he had a new friend.
But the new guy doesn’t like him
For he knows what he has done.
It was his daughter after all...
 
 
Punch punch bleed bleed.
The orange-dressed friend is pounding the boy’s face.
Scream scream
No one can hear him scream for help.
Understanding his mistake, the boy cries out:
“Stop, stop! You heard me! Stop!”
 
 
This is his punishment.
He caused his pain.
Scream scream
No one can hear him scream.
Mind spinning,
His body going numb.
 
 
Three years soent with his new friend.
Finally being sent away,
Where all the happy people play.
With their twisted minds,
And evil smiles.
Scream scream
No one can hear you scream.

(2014)
