Autopsy.

Paul Bell

You gotta let the blood out the body
You gotta let it all fade away
Once the blood is out the body
Then the body can reawake

You gotta walk the streets at night
Watch the victims shining bright
Waiting for dreams that never come true
Clinging to life nearly through

You gotta let the blood out the body
You gotta let it all fade away
Once the blood is out the body
Then the body can reawake

You gotta watch their eyes
No hiding, no disguise
Vacant pools lacking soul
Destiny’s ashes burning coals

You gotta let the blood out the body
You gotta let it all fade away
Once the blood is out the body
Then the body can reawake

You gotta cut the body wide
Gotta cut it deep inside
See the pictures' life unfold
Death in jars, story told.

    Brilliant!
    (crazy how some people, gag
    at the thought of cutting-up
    flesh and poking around
    its, grimy inner workings..
    then simultaneously, hail
    Science's
    life saving, Medicine
    as their Progressive, new religion...
    erm - Yeah, now
    that's my definition
    of a selective, Reality...)
    lol

      Very powerfully written! There is the autopsy of the dead and the living, metaphorically speaking, and I think you have captured this so well in your recurring refrain. Well done dear poet.

        Thanks, Bella

        Yeah I agree with Teddy on this one. We're all being drained of our beings like a darn mop being wrung. Where's the humanity?

          Has been a crap few years for all.
