The Institution
 



My eyes have seen a few
things I'm sure you would
never see in a book;
There's not enough words
to paint a picture of them
all, and now and then I wish
I had never looked...

              Peter Morriss

THE INSTITUTION

Grim faced wall emulate the
dinosauric etched essence of
ingrained diminutive inward
thinking.
The vulgar falseness thinly
disguises the inner layers
of truth.
In its light of created
impersonality, shadows of the
walls pray to be delivered
whole.
There are those whose office
is but a desert, inexplicably
bare.
A poet sows the seeds that ease
the heart from the stony ground
of a sojourny wilderness.

                                                          

MY CARER 

You wipe away the tears
of concern from my mind.

In the quiet hours of my
wanting, it is you, who
gives me dignity.

You are my strength
so that I may stand alone.

You are never distant from
the path I walk.

Will you often walk
beside me-
And be my friend...?
