A lost Existence.

The malodor of brown liquor burps from an aged passenger,
Week-old razor stubble protrudes from his burned jaw,
A waddle of a penguin in the empty streets of New York,
The moon illuminates vainness on this desolate entity
who doesn’t want to be noticed anymore, by anyone at all

Apathy becomes nonexistence
the defected abortion
a disappointment to society’s whims
tossed aside as a decayed core of what was

The illness of a degenerate swine
pleading to the Gods of compassion
for a chance to stab his vision with
broken bottles and watch his gums
tear as he gnaws the seductivity of psychosis

He babbles odd jargon to himself,
“Buurrrhh!! I need a dollar please!”
While his delusions vomit on his psyche
“Kill them!” they say. “Murder them” they want.

“Quiet, you!”

He shall punish these jackals with
fumes of gasoline and stray cats which twist
his sanity into a bubble of confusion

Pop! The hollow organ pumps violently
and this creature spews uncontrollably
until the rhythm of the drum beats stop.

Last verse did it for me, excellent work on a subject more prevalent as the days go by.

What an absolutely outstanding piece of work!
The flow of the words and the description so alive and very vibrant, ( despite the topic being quite sad).

I loved this piece!
