ugly parade (Free verse) by New Life Drug
I feel sick
The streets are laced with black diamonds
They rot us when summer comes
I thirst for beauty while
This ugly desert will not gush its rivers
There is a place
Where I feel like I melt
A touch of hot sparkling root beer in the sun
Surrounded by green trees
Everything sinks in
I can smell the leather
I can smell the leaves
Take away the signs and the metal
It's all trash, everything exposed
Everyone's face is a nightmare
We die trying to mop up the floors
Of our own disasters
Until there is no space left to crawl
Until blood-ridden cement takes a toll
We must all pay, but to be free
Is to climb this mountain
Covered in shade
To fall into comas of grassy blades
Lick the lips of the sweet landscape
The ones that are hidden away
