Disgrace a good deed Full of gossip their conversation from A to Z Begins each syllable I want-to-be-better-than-he They live sightless, root-less when Belonging Vomits them out and Sense befriends Scorn In pools of stale water they languish Swimming ungraceful surpassing the toads, Tearing my brain into two I have wondered What the angels would say of such a race? Whether the earth was polluted enough To have a new-makeover, rejuvenate Visage coarsened with disused life effaced Living blind tradition defacing culture’s name Walking, talking, sleeping, eating, thinking Visible holes of history cannot be hidden Can we not this stinking stocking replace? But I cherish God, my God in my own way I do not preach what practice does not say, Nor over-smother in grandeur glory utter That which would be a lie, His Highness now couldn’t be larger-than-life Or how could my veins let him dwell and Within my heart these artificial portraits paint? In mirror’s reflection a twisted dazed image Unable to recognize their selves reflected shattered iris, When the last page has turned; end of life itself invites, Knock…knock, and, “who is it?” their cowardly soul In terror replies, “not yet, not yet,” is all they can mutter. *** _________________ Life was an acrobat of reason We fought and still fight confusion...
