The Siren's Song Poem by Ryan Webb

The Siren's Song



Doors- run through the doors.
The shape of age is not
Hate- the great escape,
So strange, the mouth will gape.

Walls- they hold you in;
Your face will age and rot.
Shame- the bed you've made,
So vague, the sand parade.

Cursed- you all are cursed
To stay within these walls.
Pain- a mindless state,
They made the jacket straight.

Take the time- commit the crime;
Unaware of precautions they will take.
Above the jail- the sirens wail,
Casting a shadow on all those who lie awake.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem was inspired by Pink Floyd's movie 'The Wall' as well as Stephen King's 'The Shawshank Redemption' and Ken Kesey's 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'. I also give credit for the inspiration to The Doors' classic song 'The End' and my good friend Mary Jane Watson- no relation to the character in 'Spider-man'.
