Outside of the Church
Outside of the church
In an unforgiving world.
Inbred mentality,
My face smeared with the sperm of who they were.
Soap opera spectacles
Constellations roaming
Searching for a God.
Killing
Looking for the boundaries
That could have saved him.
Screaming
Because in the silence we were overlooked
A little house next to the 60 freeway
In East Los Angeles
A kindly little old woman
Her brute husband
Her inability to care
And those children
Who will rot there in old age.
This is the ghetto I am told.
Short sidewalks
Cousins talking to me
Like they already molested me.
Hairy and silky
If silky could describe filth.
A little old lady
Not unlike the last.
This one is younger
And more of a mother
Or rather she would call herself one.
She should be a girl
With a daddy.
She should find a husband
Who could fuck her childhood pain away.
That is after all what sex is I am seeing.
The times that couldnt be tender
Make tender scars
The little candies
That could have dulled something
Didnt put us into a coma fast enough.
Transmitted disease
At least then
I could have died
With a semblance
Of something working-out.
