Cuts
Numb people roam free
and intellect is imprisoned
A prism reflecting light
on the ones who need it most
When within confines
no light gathers or escapes
The tragic collapse of human kind
become friendless
Spoken word is known as trash
and truth is hard to find
A derelict sinking in the mist above an open,
un-traveled sea (see)
From heart comes warmth
and a quiet shadow
From shadow comes
avoidance and fear
Fear not the unknown but the known
Past and trivia is knowledge presented
A flowering cock in the bush of life
Carnivorous camps of gulls fly aimless
In shark sight a swooping demon needs destruction
"...and I need nutrition."
Saturation mixed with buoyant becomes solvent
Don't die
Don't die
Well, don't do what you don't need to do
First
What kind of a world is this?
Where dumb people roam free
Juvenile behavior is tolerated
Perfect timing is late and untactful
The tragic collapse is fear
Of the known, we know too much
Float with the shadows nipping at your toes
Cut your sheets short
Cut through the ocean of life
into the bowels of the beast
Face first and exposed
Leave this world whence you came
Face first and exposed

as a spoken word artist, i can actually see this performed. but anyway...
i'm going to be picky. "dumb" means person who cannt speak... maybe swap it for "thick" if you mean unintelligent?
overall, an ok piece. it doesn't stand out dramatically, but it is good. -
