Tumor - by Erik Smith
i look outside
see the shapes in the leaves
i look inside
see the empty lies in me
there are
faces out the window
they never stop staring at me
there are eyes inside the shadow
i see in them what soon will be
there is
a panic building
not inside my heart and soul
but outside in the public
and none of them really know
the government
is a signal
the rivers show the color
the justice system is the sign
the waters burn another
underneath
it all
the people know it
they pretend they dont
pretend they dont give a shit
they cover
their fears
with laughs and smiles
they try to live it
the happy life
the tear in their heart
but their gut feeling
just like their intestines
is something bad will happen
it will drag on for miles
miles and miles
without an ending
and it will never end
they just dont know
when will it start?
