A very dark, free form poem. Not for everybody. No caps, no punctuation.

walls

crap

walls the color of crap

politicians spew

audiences writhe

pundits fornicate

the serpent

flicks

its tongue

ten thousand

die

their blood

turns

to noxious

fumes

and cloaks

reality

in

a sheath

of

hate

i am

frightened

and crawl

back

to

my womb

to hide

behind

walls

crap

walls the color of crap
