Rickey Rivers Jr<br />
Dumpty<br />
Look into the mirror and at the egg man holding it.<br />
The irony is lost on him.<br />
His pieces crackling like your mental state,<br />
your eyes red, long tired.<br />
What say you to this reality?<br />
When you wake with headaches,<br />
and painful joints.<br />
Do you carry on?<br />
Or do you succumb?<br />
These questions boggle unbroken people too.<br />
The glass cracks<br />
and so goes your mushy brain.<br />
Don't worry, you're sane.<br />
Broken people broke in people.<br />
This has always been the case.<br />
