Nobody cares

Ode to Ashley 1988 (Stockton)

Im burning alive
Nobody cares
People can smell the foul stench, but nobody cares
Im crying out for help, but nobody cares
Im running around screaming, but nobody cares
Begging for help, but nobody cares
Im an incomplete being, conscious of his incompletion, but nobody cares
Ive been dehumanized...but nobody cares
Begging for mercy, but nobody cares
Everybody stares...
Hardships have been compounded, and there is no use of crying anymore, still, nobody cares

A f*ck you to Arturrrro Perales Sr.
