Prey Of The Madhouse

roving eyes and
fork-tongued mouths
hearts on leashes
(down boy)
stirring your coffee
and living your caffeine off
in a society
(madhouse)
of guilty consciences, evil consciences,
the naive
they will be seeked out
and tortured endlessly
to the point of utter defeat
the point where you can hear the resounding laughter
of victory
(mocking)
after all
who lets vulnerability win?

Note: dated November 9 2000. A late night doodle in bed. It even came with illustrations. Actually I drew the illustrations first, then got inspired enough to write something out of it. The first picture was a heart with a spiked collar around it, the 2nd a cup of coffee with evil things wafting out of it in the smoke.
