No Help Coming<\/p>\n
I was targeted by someone.
\nOr, maybe, it was by something.
\nMy internet access is no more.
\nI threw my phone out the door.
\nAll electronics won\u2019t work.
\nI don\u2019t think it is a quirk.
\nNo one else is affected so.
\nI don\u2019t know where to go?
\nI called the power company for help.
\nThey said: \u201cAll is o.k.\u201d I said: \u201c See YELP.\u201d
\nI gave them a nasty review.
\nMy girl said: \u201cSomeone is coming for you.\u201d
\n\u201cThey have white coats & a butterfly net.\u201d
\nI said: \u201cI have not gone crazy yet.\u201d
\nSomeone has destroyed my life.
\nWiped out all credit and the like.
\nNo more bank records. I am broke.
\nFired from work for a fictitious note.
\nI can\u2019t buy gas. I can\u2019t buy food.
\nNothing will improve my mood.
\nDid the government do all this?
\nSoon, they will tell you when to piss.
\nI have to figure this mess out.
\nI might be becoming psychotic, no doubt.
\nIt won\u2019t help to maim and murder.
\nI\u2019d go to jail before it went further.
\nAt least there I have 3 hots and a cot.
\nIs that better than this mess? Or not?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m in the soup line on skid row.
\nI have nowhere else to go.
\nWaiting to get in a homeless shelter.
\nIt is hot and I\u2019m in a swelter.
\nI can\u2019t find work. I need references.
\nI no longer exist on internet, my guess is.
\nI am an invisible man without a country.
\nI feel like hanging myself from some tree.
\nWhat has happened to \u2018the American way?\u2019
\nSomehow I have gone astray.
\nI have been cut down in my prime.
\nI might as well be doing time.
\nThere seems to be no way out for me.
\nSo much for \u2018the land of the free.\u2019<\/p>\n
