Kitchen Rat in Paper

The morning after the night before.
Eyes like pools of blue...
with the dark blue brick surround.
Pupils vanished.
Light is the enemy,
as my mind processes
like the growling engine of a steam train.

Food for thought is needed.

The aroma of coffee and toasted bagel,
scratching at the dormant senses of my nose.
The knife blades ching,
as it kisses both sides of the grapefruit
like a guillotine severing a head...
the juice bleeds across the chopping board.

Still in my numb state,
I grab the paper to feed my brain.

[ Front page ]

My eyes ignite...
the paper starts to crumple and dis-colour.
In the smokey haze,
i invoke the evaporated ink from the pages.

My stomachs acids are dancing for the devil,
ready to project and cause destruction wherever it lands.

I can't digest what my eyes have awoken to...

" Man pleads guilty to minors sex offence allegations.
His sentence...
seventy two hours community service,
a two year sex offenders correction course
and a six hundred and fifty pound fine. "

Not even caged for the rat that he is...
and government bang on about human rights?!

Where is this fourteen year old persons rights?

She had the right to feel safe
at a friends house...

She had the right to feel safe
knowing adults were in the house...

She had the right to feel safe
knowing family were just across the road...

She had the right to be playing on a trampoline
in a secluded backyard with high fences
to keep all the children safe...

She had the right to ask you for help
as she fell awkwardly and twisted her ankle...

She TRUSTED you,
he who she called granddad.

Where were her rights
when you pinned her to the trampoline
and took her innocents...

Giving her reason
never to trust again...

Giving her nightmares
so she doesn't ever forget...

Making her move
from her friends and family,
so it is she who feels punished!!!

You SICK bastard...
If only the punishment fit the crime.

Rats are pests that spread disease,
as a nation we kill the wild breed.
Even the house pet that's tame is caged.
We also use caged labrats for good...
testing the latest amended drugs for terminally ill purposes.

You lost your human rights
when you FORCED yourself
on a CHILD...

Your breed
should be treat like the diseased vermin
that you are...

not just brushed aside
to become someone else's problem...

fumigated for good!
