'NIGHTMARE WORLD'
by Robert Davidson
Hanging on my wall beside my bed
Self-mutilation
Brings things into perspective
My hand broken from punching the wall
I hurt myself to ease the pain
So deep into my throbbing mind
I need to get it out
Tears of blood fall and shatter on my window
Like drops of glass from a distance
As a bus explodes
And nails my feelings to my door
Living in a dying world of bleeding souls
Terror bombs stalk my streets
I see my nightmares become reality
I see the future with a frightened eye
Raging fires everywhere, my walls closing in
Life is the nightmare world we're all dying to live
(This poem was written shortly after the London terrorist
attack on July 7 2005).

Rob,
Haven't you posted this before, under a different title?
Hmmm. Maybe it's that they just all sound so much alike.
Dunno. Time to break away from the usual, I'd say.
Cheers,
K.

I thought it looked familiar, too:Haven't you posted this before, under a different title?

A crass, self-indulgent, and tragically unpoetic treatment of the July 7 bombings. We're all Londoners now, are we? Are we bollocks.
