NIGHTMARE
WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE*
My clients 2 four yr. olds are not native
to this land Kidnapped and brought over
under cover of night They are not native
to crackhouses or police cars They are survivors
of: child porn babybeatings starvation
In our modern city in the 21st century
hidden in apartment blocks & shelters
Police knock & spirit them away 2 a.m.
A strange car drives them to foster-homes all alone
They are native to the: war-zone foxhole closet
The truth has no heart & life is long
