Etched in the illusion of time

0 posted 2003-12-23 09:30 PM


I am innocent.
I am a spectator.

I can see everything you do, world.
I see the pain you inflict upon those
who are different.

You don't think I see it?
Oh, you are wrong, so wrong..

dare think I don't flinch
when I hear you say the evil that you do.

People are people are people.
Are you that incredibly blind to think I am unhearing,
I am silent,
I am a spectator.

I am in the damned middle of either side you (society)
has created
cross the bridge sometime, step over to the end
you ridicule

Yes, one day you will see it.
One day straight will become a nasty term, and
one day
one day soon
I will sit back and watch the world

fall.

You don't think I see it?
From my haven of neutrality, don't think
I will not wince as your words slice at my soul.
I feel pain, pain for others who are not there
to defend themselves from your taunting.
I feel pain for those who you hate,
the "fags" you despise,

yes world, I can see you.

I am an inwardly steeping volcano, and
one day
one day soon,
you will see me erupt and silence
filled with
the lava of my words
will pour.

feel it burn,
feel your own superficial hell.

                just remember,
People are people are people.
You love someone, then love them good.
For once in your lives, world,
dammit
stop being so cruel.

This disease of desire,
a cancer of emotions some feel for the wrong sex,
is not your place to criticize.

Walk along the wooden planks of the bridge
you have built,
and see for yourselves.
The same language on either end,
is spoken
through love;

on your way back, mind
you do not trod upon me near the in between.

I am innocent,
I am a spectator.

I am trapped in your damned, disgusting middle,
but am I alone..



If I were to touch you, would you bleed a velvet river, running miracles through the sodden ground? --Moi
