rare pink diamonds, haloed children
glittering bits saunter on airy ground
bright sparks lively in imps' played mischief
going left, going right, going all desired sides
mama's mind has slipped out scooped quarters
genes of my own, plotting and war-planning
coldly declaring call for leader's early demise
flowed turbulently together into mildewed valleys
my lowness, my itchiness, my sketchiness
illish, hellish, chalk scratching patchiness
colorful sailors no longer sail placid harbors
tormented by incoming indian child pirates
screaming, wailing, whining, lying
leniency bargaining chips limp, waving goodbye
clouded ears deaf in direct cacophony
cruising misery in shadowy din of disquiet
beg relief as nerves crawl
begging escape from atrocious behaviors
begged such relief from hiding sources
beggar for sound of silence
raking distance for sunny skies
possibility to run and hide
where do I go from timbukto
is peace near to grasp and hold
pray for jagged lawlessness to end
do mazed rules even apply anymore
plastic ruler been bent in crooked lines
winter guidelines closed to chosen edicts
staggered prey afflicted in disturbed scenes
why was I charged to agonize this site
inane patients are running brat asylum
no clipped bearings in furry rabbit's lair
capsizing rocking rowboat, dumped
amidst unhinged, aqua ocean tidal waves
sighting long dissonances for calm shores
before rattled waves sway body actions
one lighting storm ignites after another
flying bodies zoom by, again and again
slap, punch, kick zone, slam dunk
deathly ruthless plumed sibling warfare
not even an ounce of star semblance?
recognition of how we are to kin?
remember how to react in blazed disorder?
no fingers in ears vanquish opera shrieks
home and house war-stricken battlefield
none or winning or teeing, plain losses
fighting scream before first strike made
this is what they call family-time
they poke and pry their broken mother toy
lives insanity is briefly contained
calmed essence lost to savage heathens
sweetest anguish for babies dolls
perfect in lost honey-eyed adoration
leaving not a choice, given or wanted
but tranquility tryingly established
family and family and just family
O' Sweet children of mine
broken seraphs no belong to blood wars
furloughed mind tumbling, stumbling
in gene pools obstinate debates
