Vandals and Crooks

dark poem/ abstract poem

Vandals and crooks

an aging man, caught like a fish on a hook

Getting reeled in, he's easy prey

Eyes sag, creating bags, pupils widen, creating paralysis

Confusion and fear

An ailing man, with fish hooks everywhere

The biggest catch today

Pavement runs red, creating pain, flesh torn, creating animals

Torment and Horror

An aching man, aches no more

The fish hooks ripped away

Smiles widen, creating change, blood drips, creating paralysis
