Amidst

Standing in the midst of the crowd
Feet touch the sidewalk 
Hustle and bustle - loud
Is my voice heard when I talk?

Order out of chaos
Oxygen - constant breathing 
All in search of something lost
Great Pendulum - ever swinging

Eyes meander; thoughts pass over
Like feathers in a dance
Some brush over my shoulder
By some random chance

Oblivious, Unaware
Ghosts; Zombies; Machines
Nothingness in their stare
Never tasting Being

Who can even see
Who do not see themselves?
Do I have to bleed
For my words to hit their shelves?

Abandon

* Warning!  Highly sensitive & possibly trigger inducing material.  Please read with caution.*      These are my pieces…      You probably don’t know me or - if you do - know  it occurred.  It really won’t matter because you wouldn’t even recognize my face, anyway (seeing how it’s splattered all across the rails and rocks.)      All most of you saw was what you wanted to see.  You couldn’t seem to see past the end of your nose.  I reached out to you, yet you were ashamed to be near me.  You called me psychotic,       worthless,            the dregs of society.        You told me to pick myself up “by the bootstraps!”   …if only it were that easy…        I sought out anything to numb the pain of my own self-loathing.  Then, I was hated for that destructive vice which I succumbed to; and that made me hate m...

Another Comedy for the Logos

And there was my heart On that sleeve drenched in blood, Squeezed to the last drop, Trampled, and pressed in the mud. The chalice was raised; “Take drink!” They all said. Whence my tongue rejected it, They cried, “Lie, thee, with the dead!”      And you’ll paint a pretty heaven      And turn mortals into gods      While you stand and watch me burn      Amidst complacent nods.      You place filthy hands      On my emaciated back.      I’ll be what I will be      When, alas, you paint me black! And I sank into my skin As you ripped out my tongue. “It’s for your own good,” Was the song to be sung. And, oh, they stoked the fire To set the demons free; Led by the shackles Of their mental slavery.      And you’ll paint a pretty heaven      And turn mortals into gods      While you stand and watch me burn      Amids...
