Till Time Get's Better

life

I feel like I'm in the twilight
of my life in a zone I'm gone
places never been before
they say it's a virus "okay"
what you know more deadlier
than war I'll wait fighting
invisibility and don't know
what for told the touch is so
deadly hugging old folks
could take life from the elderly
my unaffectionate mother
who never bothered to pick
me up from off the ground
I look around the room all
eyes no sound what did I say
so profound its the truth its like
electricity its shocking because
its supposed to be beastly it
can't be bound even if in a cage
like hunters on prey hoping to
come out when it goes away
will  it go away we hope & pray
hoping to get back to work
go back to school some day
go to church on Sunday
forget about what happened
to Monday forever pushed
away from the truth as we
once knew or believed it to be
or not to be depends on whose
asking not even voices in my head
know what their talking about
had to snatch my shadow back
because it was trying to break free
upon this land and country Tis of Thee
no lie if you have something to say
say it, now is not the time to spray it
seems like we're already dead all we
have to do is die sounds horrifying
enough salt poured in wounds o sting
I give you fire you give me water
that's how to barter until it all explodes
 like boiling eggs too long in microwaves
I must go on scribing dusk till dawn
