the flood in the mind

The flood in the mind

You can't run to hide

You feel you are drowning

You shout for help

You don't want to hear

The divide and rule tactics

You know you can't live peacefully

With the tide brushing in your mind

You struggle to get free

You wave your hands frantically

The authorities look at you

There is no change to help

They put an X

You stare at the sign

“Hey what's the meaning?

You aren't helping me!”

They give signal

“In the air stupid!

You just wait your time”

You watch as they speed away

The night is falling

As your hope dwindles away

A skinny boy with a boat

He saves you of your blues
