Execrated

Some men you cannot understand,
they veil their actions within clouds,
tongue at words with deadened sounds,
scribble sonnets in furtive codes;

Men who recoil from sunrays
defenseless in light’s clarity -
fearful of barren, mirrored lakes,
of naming hatred’s blank face.

Some men will never know Zion,
they wish to walk the cleft of wind
between cosmos and Sheol.

Well and truly written though I don't think the concept is gender specific.  I do however understand the context, and were the shoe on the other foot (mine), I'd surely have written it about...some women (hee, hee).

Very well written ... enjoyed it much.

Thanks, everyone. Continuing my rant from yesterday. Ran across a poet posting anti-semitic poetry on another board.

I'm not Jewish - (Irish Catholic), but found his hate-poetry so offensive that it's made me angry. Ugh.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Corinne, if I ever lie or do something like that, which I never want to do, you have the right to slap me in the face as hard as possible! (wipes tears) That is disgusting and I hope now all of once were his fans break away from him and leave him cold and alone, liars and hypocrites are the worst people in the world, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
