Portrait

By Jake Camara

Portrait of the sun hurling at the moon

the only parent of a crippled child

Stand!

They cannot see it anymore

leaves behind the world's trouble, they never met

Americans falling down all in a row

someone reprimand the child

with no place to go it returns to the deadly prison

no glances or looks back

Now!

Did not know another life than this

brings forth blood of their own friends

sweat dripping from the pores of his broken body

the world's insane

deadly partners....dark and shallow holes in the middle of the everlasting universe

Go!

No way of escaping now

they must consent the guards

finding several ways to escape this land of ours

no reason for the muderous sinners that we used to know

victims lie awake at night and remember normal lives

Scream!

It's very near the end.................
