Episode VII Smoking Def

poem by: Samantha Johnson
Written on May 12, 2015

Shut out heart
Emotions mute
Faded self
Rotted roots
Fluid motions
Followed through
Snapping finger
All is new
Stylised violence
Infests the mind
Stinging clear
Whippin' time
Game long over
But try again
Elastic life
Last new man
Cruel n twisted
Fists of stone
Puzzled looks
Broken bones
Strike the match
Sparks ignite
Classic flames
Endless nights
Bred in shame
Programs stall
System shut down
The gauntlet falls
Bloody marbles
Long lost race
Can’t restore
It’s been erased
Yellow eyes
Loaded game
Misplaced anger
Feeds the blame
Global hoax
Passing fad
Hit bottom rock
Start re-hab
Internal vision
Free of drugs
Supportive words
Loads of hugs
Lonely souls
Distant screams
Hollow shells
Fractured dreams
Sleeping dogs
Never lie
Idle threats
Time to die
Do your best
Or let it be
Fate will call
Set me free
