The Lobotomy Poem by richard ilnicki

The Lobotomy



Behind iron bars
I'm found contemptible.
Just one ugly man among many.
They pass the trays
between the bars;
The trough is missing.
We get simple carbohydrates,
Fat
And sugar water.

Hunger makes men equal,
But some men are hungrier than others;
They eat emotions
And pick the brain cells clean.

I like this very much. Dark, cynical, heart wrenching. Excellent. Thank you, Gypsy.

Self-induced lobotomy......a unique way to detach oneself from an incomprehensible existence. An interesting piece of writing. Linda
