Stoned

Stoned

By TRIXSTER

An inevitable reminiscence

Of the pathetic death of innocence…

I am a distorted way of life

A place of bliss, away from this strife.

I am chained in the city's center square,

For all to mock, and all to stare.

Revolt and disgust look my way

As I drown into dismay…

Why have I been chosen to tread this path?

Forever a subject of merciless wrath?

As I reach with a mangled hand

To try to grasp hope's last strand,

A darkness begins to flood,

Draining my soul, drinking my blood.

My mind collapses and I die,

But no one is there, to care or cry.
