Dystopia

by JOSEPH BRYANT (Italian Stallion)

Psychoanalysis has begun,
unconscious conflict.
With resistance:
maternal deprivation.

(Separated at his birth,
for human psyche studies.
Examined in close proximity,
he’s IV-ed and laboratory tested.)

Emotionally deconstructed,
deprived from the start.
Evaluation process:
blank pallet.

(A blanket of love,
he’ll continue to search.
A face of despair
he wants to release.)

Bleak comfortless studies
erasing nurturing memories.
Results progress:
distressed.

(Psychologically underdeveloped
he yearns for a loving figure;
but an interpersonal relationship
diminished before his very eyes.)

Written in fourteen languages
the monograph is now complete.
Maternal deprivation:
irreversible.

*Dystopia is a state in which the conditions of life are extremely bad as from deprivation or oppression or terror.
