Analysis of Dysfunction
Dysfunction, abandonment, isolation, insecurity,
feelings of worthlessness.
Deeply rooted inner self
screaming to escape.
Devastation bleeds though veins,
despair expires through pores.
Solitude in every fiber of being.
Wasted years
time decomposes.
Dysfunction produces descendants,
cultures evolving into mutated, delinquent,
degenerate, fugitives.
Corruption like a plague reaches
throughout the world
Poisoning the resources.
Contagious with no immunity, inoculation or a cure.
