Frankie Quinn with a poem from his expansive body of work.
Oppression
Oppression
Scream.
Is this life a fucking dream?
My body, it’s being crushed
Open up, take out this burning wrath
My arms are open wide
Give me love and fuck the pride
I need to see and feel my face
Not this hard stone front.
Come give me love,
And in return I’ll give you mine
