Last Night



This strange unnerving dream I had
A baby slept on chest of Dad
While Mommy washed and folded clothes
Outside a sudden storm arose
Through a broke down door
SHE stood
Disgust with ALL
SHE sees
NO GOOD
The frantic
Flailing
Papers Signed
Crying baby
Look behind
Look in between
The clear cut lines
The Judge decided
Judges find
A million fit
Inside a cell
The money flow
Will feed him well
The baby lives and dies in hell
A million stories
None can tell!
