the corner of the dead

everything that s dead
can t be buried
like those junkie zombies
that stand on the corner
at that korean store

and it all seems so unreal

how can that dope man
sleep at night
without a fight with his conscious
cause he puts death-dope in their hands

but there s no gun to his head

and why do we scream say
‘i got to get my life together’
cause everyday you dying
i m dying
while some are breathing dead

waiting on the next day to fall
from the blue skies

and god must be an extreme lesson
in diversity
because he she sees it all
and so many sad stories are life
or death and go untold

oxygen don t mean ****
to them i bet
when they can t get that hit

i wonder do they them junkies wake up
some mornings
and just thank god for the day

or does death greet them
with that urge
that want
to be dead but breathing

seasons change
and i pass death by
those dead ones who stand
on the corner of that korean store

and so many smart dead folks
probably think
that they are worthless

but that was someone s baby
brother sister mother father
or friend

but death has a way
of killing us all
i want to be dead in thought
on days like this

but i can t get a hit of sanity
and ain t nobody selling that ****

if they did i d probably be
on that same corner
at the korean store
trying to get me a fix

i m dying
trying to complete death

why must our hearts be broken and yearn for heavenly home?
