A Poem by Butch Decatoria

The mind is a fragile glob of a thing...

central command

controls to the push buttons.

 

...and there is a reason

why the surgeon-generals

scientist's with their lab-rats

witch-craft

place warnings

on cigarettes monoxide fumes

 

and reasons why

the educational systematic d.a.r.e.

warns of the downfall

having anti-drug

show and learn

with actual footage

films about enbibed catastrophies

needles punctures junkies

(show them,

they do not wince

they've become tolerant,

immune to their everyday occurance

like morning coffee's

little push.)

 

Slides on red tape murder-scenes

angry D.A.D.D.

S.A.D.D. mothers

radical vehicular

AA

involunary

man-slaughter N/A

under the influence teaching

prevention...

 

Although experience

is the best kind of good teacher

to be a child

is to be impetuous

and naive,

mistaken, even,

grievious

when i wish now

the voices that whisper

in my head

my name

tell them to

close the door

that keeps them out

behind

them...

All around us voices, tv, radio, friends, ourselves, such a babble-on. Well Written piece.

The chaos of the words works well in a chaotic flurry of thoughts. Well done.
