Like a child in a Department store


(poems go here) Corruption is the ever enduring mark of Humanity. Poisoning the populace with Cain's face for so long we think it is beautiful. School halls echoing of sex off the faces of kids who lost their virginity just 2yrs after they stopped fearing cooties, because they know all about love after Jordan broke up with them. I sit here with the eyes of a maskless man who finally took off the blindfold, but cursed with the mind of Holden only stopping to complain not actually to do. I am not a leader! I can not show you the way out. As I hide behind words on paper waiting for someone to hear my cries like a child in a department store.
