Hoping for a Resurrection

Turn the screw

Fasten the lie 

You say you'd be happier

If you could just die

I bought a bunch of pens

That came with no ink

So I set fire to my notebook

And threw it in the sink

But the fire caught my hair

And spread into my lungs

Wasn't long before it burned all three of my tongues

Turn the page

Close the book

Ba'alei Lashon Hara 

Do you believe all that you hear? 

Close your eyes

See with your ears

Fake it to the non-believers 

With your bloody tears

Turn the screw

Fasten the lie

You know far too much

You cannot die

this is great I love it. You've always have got the greatest poems. They are so descriptive sometimes morbid but perfect for what your describing. I love reading your work you definitely reminds me how to feel when I read your works. Thank You.
