why the tinman never smiles

why the tin-man never smiles.
____________________

ask Dorothy why
The tin-man never
smiles, on cold nights
surrounded by
Mindless Scarecrows,
and Wimpy Lions,
who sing away their
blues.

She will say..
"Oh
well.."
"I Love You!"

(as if THAT
explains the incessant
clicking of those
ruby-fuckin-shoes!!!!)

and
Why does the
Wizard wring his
Wrists in Irony,
if a simple
Pair of Heels, and
grain of Belief
would set The all Free?

(or give my
haunted
mind relief,
and bring
every non-existent
angel
back to me.)

The witch wasn't
always such a bitch...

she LOVED once..

loved that Bastard
Wizard who fooled
her with His Trickery
over something as
moronic as an Ego-Trip.

(thus i'm led to wonder
constantly  who the
Genuine Villain Is.)

+

Ask the Tinman why
he has No Heart..
on warm days surrounded
by sweet maidens and
sweeter friends.

Because..

This
Hopeless
World
Dark!

and often
seems
pretend!!

but..

love on
Dorothy...

(love on.)
