Born and raised
Never the same twice
This child tased
With rolls of loaded dice
A grown mind crazed
Never naughty nor nice
His eyes glazed
With a layer of thin ice
Here's the boy
Told not to question
His mind to headway
Into a cliche
The sky it snowed
And from it came hail
Til his eyes showed
Nothing at all
Here's the boy
Beat into attention
His face wiped clean
Of childish gleam
A warm heart
But cold skin
Save the lost boy
Before he breaks again
Here's the boy
Starved into disillusion
And the thought
Of love not taught
