Poetry: Enough! said the Clown with a Frown

the clown with a frown

is tired...
laughter
...a foreign sound

light a match
set me on fire
i want to burn
amongst the
smoke and flames

tired of rampant sexual abuse
(shhh...
we don't talk about that)
stealing a child's innocence
tired of racism
tired of denials
tired of governments
tossing band aids
at amputees
saying:
"hey, we did our best!"
so fucking proud
please stop
the cries are too loud

tired of a fake family
that doesn't exist
tired of the games we play
tired of fucking life skills
tired
of the sadness i see

protect the abuser

silence the abused

it's the way it is
i'm just a whitey
an outsider
never an insider

the cops don't give a shit

the ministry don't give a shit

big fat pay cheques

keeps the silence

screaming:

"stop fucking the children,

please, stop fucking the children..."
