SCATTERED...by Talile Ali
IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST EVERYONE
IT HAPPENED, I KNOW, TO ME
SOME KIND OF MAGIC INCIDENT
MY MIND JUST SIMPLY SEIZED
INTO SOME KINDA MADNESS
INTO A GENTLE MIST
OUT OF WHICH DOES COME SOME MAGIC
TO CONTINUE TO EXIST
HABITS BECOME
CHOICES
ABUSE'S BECOME A THING
IN WHICH YOU MAY FIND POWER
IN WHICH YOUR SPIRIT SINGS
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING PUTRID
IN THIS THING THAT YOU CHOSE TO DO
BUT YOUR BRAIN IS SO SCATTERED
MISUNDERSTOOD BY ALL YOU CHOOSE
A LIFE OF SCATTERED IMAGES
A LIFE OF HOPELESS DREAMS
TRYING TO FIND SOME PLEASURE
IN A LIFE OBSCENE
A PIECE OF MEAT TO FRIEDA
A LITTLE CHEAT TO DUTCH
NOTHING TO MAKE SPORT OF
SCATTERED,
IN THE DUST OF LUST
