Torchbearers

Contributed by spellofnature on Sunday, 23rd July 2006 @ 06:26:27 PM in AEST
Topic: AmericanTragedy

Misting rain, but the sky is blue
It's a common storm that I hold true
Hobbling along as I walk
As I move I hear them talk

"He's the man with the disfigured face"
They study my walk, they watch my pace
My intention is not to harm anyone
But their burning stares are hot like sun

Anger, Anguish, Hatred, Suffering

Torchbearers, delicately blind
They want me dead, they want my mind
Torchbearers, but what am I?
Who am I? Where is my master?

I am like any rose, my petals can be torn
And as they tear my innards become worn
Do not blame me for how I look
It's what is written in the book

Blame my God, blame him twice
Do not bend to make this sacrifice
Aim your firearms to the sky
Be sure it is he who dies

Treat me like an alien, a foreign lifeform
I will grow pricks, bleed my thorns
Remember my corpse and how I died
Maybe this fairytale will teach you to survive

Wonderful insight, and great job....

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
