sociopaths and psychopaths
are not fixed
by occupying positions of power
have you looked outside –
those weeds are certainly not flowers

life kidnaps your innocence
did you not know?
have a look, take a look
write your book and become a novelty show

they made an older man
sing and dance
as he recalled days
of fighting on the beaches of france

they fell over and now –
they cannot get back up
there knees are gazed,
and their heart all bust

when i think about my life
i am often overwhelmed with emotion
and i reminded
that all my dreams have had true motion

their personality is a hopeful rumage
made, scrambling over –
a heap of trauma damage

they give me a past
and it was sculpted out of brick
it was placed on my back
but it never fits
