A lost soul

Written about an old friend who has changed beyond recognition...

Drug induced recluse

Confused himself into a noose

Was it from trees, like spruce?

Unlikely, much too frightening result

Was it from capsules

Capsized mind, went from "kind," to a*****e

Chains of events can be relentless

But still... what pill, or chemical, or sentiment

Can make a man go mental

Delusional, distraught, disturbed

What thought or string of words can curb this bird

What diseased lab rat potion has murdered this cat

Quotient, sum, product- everyone around him is awstruck

Monumental change from sane to deranged

I don't claim to be a perfect person or profit

I too am a perversion, but get off it! 

That slippery icey pedestal,

That jittery eye-widening festival of fallacy

Come back down to reality town please

Clown of malice

Jester of injustice

Quit festering in fine fungus and fear

For you, lost soul, I shed one tear

Awe.. yes this is good writing, I think poetry is a great place to go insane and this one has that manic tension feel that screams to be heard.
