Who Runs the Asylum? by Thomas LeRoy

Who runs the asylum?
Bent upon the edge,
Who scatters the dreams?
Left upon the ledge.

Who tastes the evil?
Ripe upon the tongue,
Who warns the weary,
Upon the broken rung.

Who sings the song?
As madness tempts the fools,
A step into the dark,
As phantoms break the rules.

Who’s voice is stifled?
As they scream in fear,
Who bleeds the most?
As you remove the spear.

Who scars the night?
A streak across the sky,
Who laughs the loudest,
On that day you die?
