BrOkEn WorDs

My words are broken cracked and bleeding

Peeling and misleading

Stepped on like coke burning

Like purple haze smoke

They’re spoken misspoken

Disappear like a New York City token

Ripped to shreds once they leave my head

Shot stabbed caught and nabbed

They’re broken to pieces like a puzzle

Words I guzzle my brain should be muzzled

They speak Spanglish a scrambled egg dish

Wounded like a soldier falling in battle

Bullet hole souls m16 rattle

Shrapnel lodged in your esophagus

Bum rushed trampled and crushed

Run over and wrecked

A hit and run

Whipped and chained

Churning insane

Tied and strained

Notorious and infamous

Hallucinating from LSD and Angel dust

broken words are heard over and over inside my mind

mixed up passed absurd

breaking like a curve

let loose like a canon

blasted from a boom box

totally unorthodox

ambidextrous and dyslexic

dissected and inspected

my broken words break like a wave

raped like a slave

exploded and imploded

running light years passed the sun

a train wreck crash landing

sinking like an anchor

words spilling black like a leaking tanker

arrested and detested

failing to stay sane

getting lost in my own brain

multiplied like atomic nuclei

released like radiation stickering the nation

confused with organization

broken words get lost like time

poetry is a victimless crime
