Sing about how you're glad <br />To be alive, survive. <br /> <br />Don't admit that death entices, <br />Solemn vices. <br /> <br />Caught in the confusion trap, <br />Rabbit in the magician's hat. <br /> <br />So many ways to overcome abuse, <br />Misuse of power. <br /> <br />El presidente' before the hunta <br />Virus attack, family ties, <br /> <br />Brought you back to Lisbon, <br />Where you dreamt, poet again. <br /> <br />All I wanted was to be known, <br />For my words, foolish hope, <br /> <br />Before all the dopes gone, <br />Slow moving speed train, <br /> <br />Burning too much gas, <br />Three trips till decommission. <br /> <br />Locked down baby boy, <br />Ancient in the head, <br />Way too young to be dead. <br /><br />James Barrs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-trips-till-decomission/
