"Absorbed In Forgotten Ignorance"
  by Arcane


ThugLuv Challenge
{ A Picture Is Worth a 1,000 Words}
(13 lines, no more, no less)

He was a day-to-day shifter….. Filled with body aches
And constant misdiagnose treatments
Soaked and wretched in odors of hopelessness
Invisible to his visible eyes… a stranger to self
Absorbed in a life of forgotten ignorance
Denying statistics
Through blurred and hazy lines of desperation
Of crack fiends & late night hikers
As if he died easily….Losing dignity by the pound
Trumpeting pity through empty billboards signs…As passengers parade by
Amused.. By his ignorance and trashed land marks
As if he was stroked with chains of insanity…Lost in a virtue of sins
Shackled only with diminished dreams and left only with a few days to survive

As if he died easily….Losing dignity by the pound Trumpeting pity through empty billboards signs…As passengers parade by Amused.. By his ignorance and trashed land marks..amazing reality on this piece.
