Drip fed

 

No amount of rain will ever

be able to ease

the burning pain

which chokes

the back of our throats.

All the times we shouted,

fire, in warning.

(in alarm at what they were doing)

But you ignored the smoke.

What more will it take?

Innocent barely an adult.

Just another son.

A life starting,

but your flames always

put an end to everyone.

 

You don't believe

in peace, nor justice.

Hitting anyone

who dares to stand

opposed to you,

but worse are the beasts

in collusion, allowing this

to continue. Are they deluded?

Confused by some illusion.

Or just as full of hatred,

so indebted to blood

that any death is seen

as a positive.

Any death is seen as good.

 

I speak, having slept

in a hospital bed, a safe space

Where care is admitted.

IV line attached.

Supposedly being drip fed life,

but all the while

we are just drip fed lies.

Seems all those lines

are being crossed,

and the blood on hands

is now looking like ours.
