A few moments in time

A few moments in time

Piss off and sit
somewhere else,
He said.. you're getting
on my tits..
We're not getting out alive
she said..
our food is full of shit..
here's a glass of laraz
would you care for a sip
It's time for bed after tea
and tea for time after bed
he said...
it's a bit confusing really
and I can't. think so clearly.
go sit somewhere else he said
I'm already messed in my head..
and the jailers smile in lilac stripes
their, there. there....
dry the tears withΒ  baby wipes.
and sing songs of Christian faith..
to make everything alright..
