Sitting in
the chair
he stares
everywhere
and anywhere
but here or there.
Pain
is about
payback
After all,
facts are facts
and so soon he'll get his
with a quick buzz from the fuzz.
So close,
no matter
how far
some can't help
be just who they
are, but the same some
are sometimes way too
ineffective. extinguishing the
flame burning deep in our souls
so
we roar
with our
fire, grasp
back at our control
jolting the end on in
with an electric finality...

A painful description of a tortured and brutal life. At least that's what I got from it. Alot of imagery. Alot of innuendo. Nice work!
