Hyenas
Hyenas heard outside the door
The crackheads looking for a score
For just seven grams, if you please
And they sink slowly to their knees
The problem is they got it wrong
The witch next door will play along
I send the lost and strung out there
And try my damndest not to care
Still hear them chatter through the walls
Their madness rises, then it falls
Security is pretty lax
And I can't seem to find my axe.

Still hear them chatter through the walls
Their madness rises, then it falls
Security is pretty lax
And I can't seem to find my axe.

It's a rough go for some, maybe a sign on the door is needed "Witch not spoken here"

I’m glad you called and we got to chat a while, being familiar with the backstory of how this poem came to be, and what inspired it. I told you what I might do, so I’m here and have added your piece to my RL, yaaay.
The image you chose, and the title, are perfect partners to the words.

Thank you Jade. Mercifully, the back story didn't include me reaching for an axe. My rage stops just short of the cutting edge. Thank you for the kindness and RL entry!

They're actually the ones being forced to move, but they're dragging their heels, messing with the landlord. He should have the authorities escort them off the premises since he's in his eighties, and maybe too nice to those underserving. Thank you so much Brenda!

Vile crass unaware noise pollution, yuck - but maybe it was a good thing you couldn't find the axe.

I guess an axe, like all 'double-edged swords' has a second edge that can always be grabbed and used against you. By contrast (so I have read in "A Course in Miracles") a one-edged sword (defined as 'unconditional love/acceptance') can not be used against you; not the easiest road for sure but perhaps ultimately the more powerful one.
