Fragile Man (poem)

Poetry

He’s attracted when you’re vulnerable,
And repelled when you’re strong.
He loves it when you’re crying,
Stab you and give you a hug.

The glass man wears judicial robes,
Shattered into pieces by his own gavel.
Shards of self to use as bait,
While a collage would be more pleasing.

Resentful lamprey seeking vengeance,
Prowling the ocean’s floors.
For sick wounded bleeding creatures,
Sharks are not the only predators.

Rejecting attitudes of masculinity,
Denies him of flesh and bone.
He’ll graft himself into your body,
Poison your mind with his own.

Drama (poem)

Poetry

When things get still,
They start remembering.
No space for those thoughts,
Chaos in means chaos out.

Problems in means problems out,
Externalize the internal.
Something out here is victimizing,
Betrayed by the mind.

Many selves, all traitors,
Unable to accept.
Find others to blame,
For imagined persecutions.

Emotional intolerance,
Expunge all the hurt.
Social mores impose consequences,
Beat up the closest and the voiceless.

“It’s not abuse”,
Force them to love you.
If they accept any treatment,
Then they deserve it.

Give an inch,
Take a life.
World’s a stage,
You the only actor.
