ancient religious statues

ancient religious statues.

walking prostitutes.

the alien spacecrafts

glide through the sky

& breathe toxic fear.

pollution

clings

to

my

lungs.

old churches

never whisper

dirty streets

never lie

& the homeless man on Sunset

tells me

“You’re going to die.”

glamour and stars

STD’s and backstage fucking…

its all part of the show

a place where souls never leave

where the future is conceived

and the world gets deceived.

my home.

my sanctuary.

13 year-olds

become porn stars

and your daughter

is now 21.

free to roam the lands

of plastic, horror and disgust.

traffic suffocates me

on Saturday nights

& the bass oon his car

makes my ear bleeds…

I can hear:

screaming

happiness

terror

car alarms

victims

my voice

but its drowned out

by the beauty…

don’t you see?

this is what Hollywood means to me…
