The gavel strikes on stated bail I can never make. I have journeyed through blindness, through hysteria and now here. Recalled it's in my mind a nightmare. Restate it with a drone as dour as cursing. Not knowing, I have been chased from life for vengence gained at bitter ends. Through question periods my future bears my right hand man begging. Crown orators scheme and the novel nippers, the omnipresent probes with social eagle eyes scratch in public places, their chairs full by habit - unjustified queers, always flourishing their fame, their stories stolen, from victims trapped in jurisprudence. Willingly they twist their words about, a man's fire to love his blood sharing there his life. A bloody sister's screaming horror; and then my dear brother-in-law my guilty anger brings her peace. |

ethome, First, welcome back!! Wow, what a powerful poem your have penned for us. I certainly hope there is no truth in this scary little piece. You have given me goosebumps here!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
