Ain,t Life Fuckin Great,(part2 The Stone Man) (Free verse) by Bethy
He is my brother
with cold blue eyes
he looks in wonder
where there are no skies
There are no trees
There are no bees
There are no flies
Only silent cries
I touch his hand
and sit with him
He can,t find himself
in his house of chains
He sits by choice
with no voice
and wonders why
his life went by
He can,t feel his fingers
he can feel his toes
he can,t feel the sweat
drippin from his nose
so many changes
in his life
got stoned one day
and lost his wife
Now he sits and stares
at nice clean walls
and looks at white coats
going up and down halls
They feed him pills and apple juice
Then they tuck him in
tell him to lay quiet
til mornin
I come by and see him
nearly every day
Ain,t life fuckin great!!!
is all he says
