Clink, clank

I got thrown in the tank

Scritch, scratch

Here comes another batch

Of misfits and miscues

This isn't a ruse.

Pepper spray, mace

We all occupy space

Consuming air and gas

What this world has

Is a number for us

And a jumbled rebus

To solve

As it revolves

We are all involved

In this think tank.

Wet mush

There's a pile of leaves

Slip, slide

My tires say screech

As I apply my brakes

Please God, whatever it takes!

Yells, screams

The ambulance teams

Pushing with full sail

Trying to avoid the wails

That are inevitable

When we live in a jungle

Of lies

And automatic replies

Is it any surprise

That I'm in the think tank?

Long gone

Are the pictures I've drawn

Too many

Thoughts for a penny

They fill my brain

And keep me sane.

So sorry

I know it sounds shoddy

Terrible tragedy

Your son was just 23,

Desperate despair

I can not repair

Or mend

When a life ends

So many people depend

On lessons from the think tank.
