Silence

A poem on emptiness

Cold rain was falling from the skies
Lost in the maze of shopping carts
Walmart stage and functioning body
Count the calorie norm enough to move on
My soul torn apart by the lights of foreign
Cities filled with empty gallows and galleries
Brain soothed by prescription meds
Aimed to resolve cognitive dissonance
By bringing down hormonal imbalance
Indication of wrong acting right
Black would never turn white
How much…
