Imprisoned yoghurt top
I sit imprisoned in my cell
I do not think of coming hell
My yoghurt base is worn and old
It makes a moon so big and bold
There on the floor among the dust
My pleasures simple as they must
Be now, as here I wait the verdict
Of what the next steps will predict
Defining future pathways new
That stretch among the dust and dew
I didn't have to do it though its done
And being done the troubles have begun.
In this cruel life of mine
I find no soul divine
To lead me out, or up, or down
When I am here, all things confound
My eyes so sunken in my face
And where to look for solace
Is on the floor below the bed
Where cracks describe a griffins head
A strange grey bird of fantasy
In which my mind can fancy
Its somewhere else in fairyland
Where gnomes and witches stand
And cast their spells on all mankind
Leaving poor mortals quite behind
Among the dregs of concrete dreams
Where heavy blankets quaff our screams
Thank the good Lord for ruined walls
That poetise, the truth appals
And sinks the mind in travesty
For trying to see your majesty
Described anew in dust and grime
To save us from the madness, time.
Knock-Knock here comes the end resign.
