see the smiling face

like a clown

upside down

I smile

and dance

all over the place

 

happy happy happy

twirling

round and round

like a clown

lost

in outer space

a little drip of light

slips under eyelids

 

stripped of dreams I wake

a sharp brand of fire

bores, wormlike, inside

 

yesterday, today, forever

as if fate hates me

morning, noon, night

 

a sharp sliver every hour

slips in and stays

without giving notice

 

steeped in pain I wake

a little drip of light

burns me forever

I have to ask

Why this now?

 

Is this thing,

this trial,

so very special?

 

If what doesn’t kill

me makes me

stronger, why

aren’t I strong yet?

 

Lifting weights

doesn’t build as much

as this weight

You won’t lift

from me.

 

Please.  One less

change?  Please.

Stability

shouldn’t be a sin.

Which illusion hides the gem

Beneath the red lies of men?

Truth in thought, action, word, deed—

Perhaps is found in none of these.

Does a handshake and a smile

Cover a soul full of guile?

Does another false prophet

Slaughter her sheep for profit?

A blind seer

Shifting markets

And futures

Of soulless cattle

—High on idle prattle—

With his bare arm stretched upwards

In prayers of greedy words.

Forgive! Oh invisible.

Forgive these hot blood-stained hands

That seek wealth invincible

Be deceiving the white lambs.

Before my face

The hurt is reel.

Powerful souls

Die daily—

A death bleaker,

Bitterer than torture.

They choose a truth to screen

Their painless screams.

A truth as hollow

As the life they can’t escape.

Will no true prophet come?

A pure, brilliant chosen son?

A savior to save mankind

From

Its own

Blind

Truth?
