The concrete screams again;
how can it not with
all of our soles slammed
against its mouth?
So we plug our ears with
dynamite and light the fuses
to drown out the sounds.
So we blow out our skulls,
we're out of our minds,
to quiet the senses
that tear at our being.
But we still march in time
to the beat of some drum
and still the concrete screams.
One pain for another.
