What has he done?
In a room,
a white room;
there was a man,
an odd man.
This odd man was not like men.
He was different-
Prices left unpaid-
For those are what put him there,
the damning white room.
His acquiescence does prove that what he's done, too.
Is It True?
Down in prolonged silence-
for something to come
Such a life like this,
I guess a different man among men,
Was immune to becoming numb.
With a light hum;
for the man, almost a becoming drum;
one was to come,
to try and strum,
the tainted slums,
of his mind; a useless ole’ to the numb, numb, numb!
A better man among men
Combating noise, such as one does
To be a distraction;
To be lowered to things, no longer people.
Maybe a game?
an avoidance of containment.
This man,
this man not like men,
this man with due balances;
he had no intention of staying.
For the man was not like other men.
He’d long for obtainment;
no ascertainment;
no hope for future arrangement.
Symptoms of loss.
One cannot blame him.
